Comments:
<0> petemc: Are you sure Debian can be installed from serial/ssh? I am browsing the docs, but I find nada.
<1> ShereKhan: yes
<2> SperMite: Presumably it's telling ytou that using that file to specify those options is deprecated ;)
<3> Draconicus, then you did it wrong, i ***ume
<4> Know this: I'm not using Debian's packages. Just its kernel.
<5> ShereKhan, http://www.underhanded.org/papers/debian-conversion/remotedeb.html
<2> Draconicus: Debian's kernel *is* a package.
<4> sepski: What's the argument? I've tried video=vesa:off and video=vesafb:off
<6> the debian kernel package comes with a config file. always
<6> also, debian has source available. if you don't run debian, you have to figure out yourself how to get it
<0> markybob: That one seems to ***ume there is a running system on the computer. Mine is blank.
<7> what are the settings in interfaces for public wan, using say wlan0
<4> PerfDave: I know, but that and some of the "base system" are all I have for Debian packages.
<5> ShereKhan, true. then use fai like i suggested earlier
<2> Draconicus: If you're using a Debian kernel, then you have its config in /boot/. If you have a base system, you have apt and can install the Debian kernel source.
<8> Just a quick question about jigdo, since I want to download both DVDs but don't want to wait till one is finished then start the other, I want to make a script that auto does it, but can you just make jigdo not ask you questions and manually put answers in the console?
<4> Damn, I lost sepski.
<9> dumezil: mcrypt
<10> <PerfDave so what do i need to do... i still dont understand =(
<2> SperMite: You don't need to do anything yet, it's a warning, not an error. Just be aware that in a future release of Debian, that file may not be read.
<6> SperMite: not putting any configs in that file and delete the file afterwards
<11> beardy: awesome thanks!
<4> PerfDave: I'm using Ubuntu repositories. I can't apt-get anything unless I add the Debian repositories. Regardless, I need to know what kernel argument I need to disable the framebuffer. I'm working from grub's menu.list in /boot/. Should I use something else?
<0> markybob: I'll keep that in mind, thanks. But I'd still prefer something interactive. As far as I can see FAI means pop in the installation media and cross your fingers that everything boots when the installation is eventually completed, right?
<5> !ubuntu
<12> i heard ubuntu is not Debian. See http://www.ubuntulinux.org. IRC channel is #ubuntu (not here!) http://interviews.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=144934&cid=12136879 Ask me about <Based on Debian>, or Even Mark Shuttleworth says this is not Debian..
<6> ShereKhan: sort of
<4> markybob: I'm using the Debian core! Read carefully.
<13> oh god this is sad.. how do i untar something ?
<5> Draconicus, WE DONT DO HYBRIDS, EITHER
<2> yggwork: tar xf foo.tar
<6> yggwork: tar -xvf <tarfile>
<9> Draconicus: Don't mix repositories.
<4> It works fine.
<5> ShereKhan, ShereKhan, yeah. i'm not sure how to have a remote interactive installation on a blank box
<6> yggwork: but it could be compressed with gz or bz2
<9> Draconicus: Doesn't matter, don't do it.
<3> Draconicus, dont abuse in here. if you dont run debian , we can't support you. but did you try vga=normal on the argline ?
<6> markybob: by building a specially crafted CD
<2> Draconicus: It obviously doesn't work fine ;)
<9> Draconicus: At least don't ask about help here on it.
<4> sepski: No, I didn't.
<3> Draconicus, thought you said you did
<9> !nofb
<12> Append "video=vga16:off" to the kernel at boot time to disable the framebuffer.
<4> I'm asking about a Debian kernel argument. Is that so bad?
<14> how do i rerun the network configuration that the installer does? rerunning baseconfig doesn't offer network configuration. and i don't know how to configure /etc/network/interfaces manually.
<9> !interfaces
<12> Your network configuration in potato and later is done in the file /etc/network/interfaces. "man 5 interfaces" for docs, (zless /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz for an example). start and stop your networking with ifup -a and ifdown -a respectively. See also "dhcp client". for laptops, use /etc/pcmcia/network.opts instead or see "man resolv.conf" for DNS or ask me about "static route"
<2> disposable: You can probably apt-get install etherconf
<6> Draconicus: I run a headless box here. I don't need to do anything. installed debian works out of the box. so why do you need that kernel arg?
<3> Draconicus, the linux kernel arguments are the same for all linux kernels..
<1> ShereKhan: its called network-console support for debian installer
<4> wols: I'm installing on a very picky old Dell with a 486.
<14> PerfDave: ah, thanks. i'll have a look at that
<3> disposable, if uyou dont know then reading man interfaces and learn would be the wise thing to do
<4> sepski: No, I tried video=vesa:off and video=vesafb:off
<9> wols: Of course you don't need to disable the framebuffer if you have no monitor connected to it.
<9> ..
<4> It has some kind of onboard video. I don't even know if X will manage to support it, yet, but I get a kernel panic after vesafb fails, and I need to correct this problem.
<9> Draconicus: Which kernel?
<4> It's also an ancient monochrome monitor. I don't know which one is to blame.
<1> Draconicus: running x on a 486 isnt going to be much fun
<7> what are the settings in interfaces for public wan, using say wlan0
<2> lome10: What do you mean by "public wan"?
<4> petemc: It shouldn't be too bad. I've got like 24MB RAM and I'm going to use IceWM.
<1> it'll still ****
<4> beardy: 2.6.whatevertheCDuses.
<7> free, no encryption, like in some restaurants, say panera
<9> Draconicus: Red what dpkg said above, about nofb. I'm not sure it still works that way though, but try.
<2> lome10: Sorry, you want to run an access point?
