I agree on 2. also it definitly needs more documentation at module selction time (I've only done 2.1 to 2.2 upgrades, so I don't know if it got better atleast some after 2.1). 2. a partition resizer would be good yes, the rest no. Although maybe a list of ftp/http sites would be great to choose from (WITH path !), when installing from the net (maybe this is already available ?), because I don't see any other reason why you would need ftp and lynx.
About 6. I don't think there is much you can do ?? dpkg's/base install floppy's already have checksums ?
My own addition to secure by default is openssh instead of telnet (or maybe ask questions about it). And automated download of them like OpenBSD has (it also gives you the choice non-us and US great !).
One floppy (automated !?) network installs would be great or maybe a tool to make such floppy's (this probably already exists) for specific hardware and network setups ?
I also agree tasks should have there own section (completly ?) in dselect for example.
This is also what I would like to see an easy/automated way of rebuilding packages from source so they are optimised, I don't know how hard this can be, after all there are already scrtips for it, I'm sure that's what they use on there build servers right now (all it needs is a way of giving it a gcc machine optimization option).
PS Sorry, if I didn't find the script on the website or something, or if there already is a package or something to do that.
Debian packaging system is the reason, it's the best installer, but all those packages make it a really long list and this takes ages to check on old hardware.
actually there are debian people working on this little toy. It's called auto-apt. So that can mean, if you have something on CD, but a newer version is available on ftp, it will download the ftp.deb and install that and install anything else from CD and all that... imagine that !:)
If you make a local mirror and have a lot of same hardware I think it would be easily done. Actually, if you have so much of the same hardware, I would recommend burning a CD with an image of your harddisk.;)
What they ofcourse mean is, profitability for their customers. well, in PR speak ofcourse. Also I think IBM is really interrested in a good cross platform unix-like system that will perform well for all there low-end hardware.
Most hardware support is in the kernel anyway and the 2.2 kernels are supported by stable, just compile from source. Also 2.4 kernels are supported for the new upcoming 2.2 based stable.
If you really need it, you can get it.
Acceptance for newbies and so on is what "Debian based distributions" are for.
Well, that is a bit strange yes, but what I did also see was that they don't seem to care much for security either, I think the slashdot peeps, should help them with there servers (ridicolous so many ports open):

Crusoe WebPads By FIC
·
· Score: 1
actually, on a press release of them (here: http://www.fic.com.tw/fic/pressr/000516_computex20 00_pr.htm) it's comfirmed:
"On show for the first time will be the FIC webpad project, currently being developed in conjunction with Transmeta and code-named Aqua. This exciting new product is based around a Transmeta processor with embedded MobileLinux OS, and offers wireless connectivity to the Internet enabled via state-of-the-art wireless technology and a residential gateway, which will connect to the ISP. The low power consumption of the Transmeta processor ensures a battery life as long as five hours, while the LCD screen allows easy and unrestricted web browsing. "
No way, compile IDE as a module and unmount and remove module from kernelspace and directory (last only if you have auto loading) that will solve it:) Although I'm still wondering what is the cure ? Maybe it's the 'boot from onboard first' option in the kernel somehow.
Personally I just add a few lines to the lilo.conf file and there we are... we have choice... new old, very old... older... 2.0 whatever you like (I do a lot of testing of the ac-patches (Alan Cox for you BSD folks who don't know Linux hackers by abrev.). And I got about 19 kernels in my LiLo right now.
I thought Debian is install to install, but personally I think OpenBSD isn't much worse... installs fast too. (even on a 486) and net performance is definitly better for some strange reason... I don't know how they did it... I only use it as gateway/firewall !
Slashdot Mirror
Hey if IBM really means it, they could open source there speach reconition ;)
Why not in 2.4.5 ? ;)
Everything you chance should be added to the bootup process (everything which is important for normal operations) ! Otherwise you'll be like that.

Just make sure your the admin ! :) Works for me ;)
But with Open Source projects, most of the time you can reach the author directly, the people who made the code, not just some helpdesk.
Just take a look here then and read it carefully, you will see that LSB and this system will change the Linux world to be a better place: http://www.w i.leidenuniv.nl/~wichert/talks/PackageManagement20 00/html/

That's also why KDE code should be LGPL'd and not GPL'd
although a lot of KDE developers still do this wrong.

I thought he/she did that on purpose.

Sure is, but I doubt it will go into Woody,
does any1 know ?
Nice to see good humor
