[12:15] <cjwatson> joejaxx: possibly extra cruft in sources.list?
[12:15] <cjwatson> saispo: udev, since hoary
[12:16] <cjwatson> saispo: up to dapper we used devfs-style paths, although not devfs proper; from edgy on we use normal device paths too
[12:17] <joejaxx> cjwatson: i just have the the  one line in the sources.list.udeb.local
[12:18] <joejaxx> -the
[12:24] <cjwatson> what's that line?
[12:27] <joejaxx> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main main/debian-installer restricted
[12:31] <cjwatson> that's bogus. if you're going to write sources.list.udeb.local yourself (it's not automatically generated) then it MUST be correct.
[12:31] <cjwatson> either remove it and let it be autogenerated, or remove 'main' and 'restricted' and leave just 'main/debian-installer'
[01:39] <joejaxx> cjwatson: i initially did this on edgy  when i had only the main/installer i whould not download the udebs it worked after i added the main
[01:39] <joejaxx> cjwatson: that is why i had added main
[01:40] <joejaxx> cjwatson: but main/installer works by itself on feisty i should have just tried the original method
[01:40] <joejaxx> cjwatson: thanks
[11:24] <saispo> hi
[02:32] <saispo> cjwatson: is d-i    partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc depreceated ?
[02:35] <cjwatson> yes, won't work in edgy
[02:35] <cjwatson> use /dev/hda or /dev/sda as appropriate; and you must also preseed 'd-i partman-auto/method string regular'
[02:38] <saispo> ok, i don't know this
[02:38] <saispo> thks
[02:38] <saispo> not possible to have a trick for using the first hard drive ?
[02:38] <saispo> if i don't know it's an scsi drive or an ide drive
[02:42] <cjwatson> I've fixed that in feisty, but it's not easy in edgy
[02:42] <cjwatson> 'clearpart --all' in Kickstart will do that
[02:42] <cjwatson> you can mix Kickstart and plain preseeding fairly freely using the 'preseed' Kickstart extension
[02:43] <saispo> ok
[02:43] <saispo> or script a thing in shell ?
[02:43] <cjwatson> in feisty (maybe not actually landed in images yet) you can preseed partman-auto/method to regular and just leave partman-auto/disk unpreseeded, and it will use the first disk if and only if there is only one
[02:43] <saispo> k
[02:44] <saispo> can i backport feisty installer version for edgy or not ?
[02:44] <cjwatson> saispo: yes, it's possible to do it using preseed/early_command, but it's not straightforward and I don't have a recipe for you
[02:44] <saispo> k
[02:44] <cjwatson> if you attempt to backport the installer, you get to keep all the many pieces into which it will most likely break
[02:44] <saispo> k :/
[02:44] <saispo> not a great solution :)
[02:45] <saispo> thanks for your help
[02:45] <saispo> your project is very interesting ! :)
[02:46] <cjwatson> you can look at kickseed/handlers/clearpart.sh (apt-get source kickseed) for ideas if you want to go the early_command route

[09:14] <saispo> cjwatson: have you got the time to explain somethings ?
[09:17] <saispo> i need explication between preseed, seeds and tasks
[09:17] <saispo> preseed is the file for automatic answering and parameter for debconf
[09:18] <saispo> seeds is for the file will be include in the cd ? deps will be calculate by germinate, ok ? but not used for installing packages on the system ?
[09:18] <saispo> and what is tasks ?
[09:18] <saispo> if i have an error, tell me :) i try to draw the schemas on a paper :)
[11:02] <tepsipakki> cjwatson: is it possible to roll a new d-i for dapper-proposed, now that there is a new kernel?
[11:02] <tepsipakki> I mean rebuild it for -proposed
