| == Hoary status== The only known issues with this install CD are: * During the install, it will drop to the menu at elilo-installer. Get to a shell, edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/elilo-installer.postinst, find db_fget, and make "seen" the second argument instead of the first (by swapping the arguments). Get back to the menu and redo the elilo-installer step. (This is fixed in breezy.) * server install requires manual specification of the preseed file (details to follow). * Firefox has issues. |
