CompBrainwhat's the best d-i hook if I want to drop an /etc/passwd in place before packages get installed?21:29
orbitushey cjwatson is it normal for a netboot installation to fail fetching packages? ive had a hell of a time fetching lsb-release-udeb from mirrors today for a hardy install (and networking is just fine here, logs say it's getting a 404)22:26
cjwatsonorbitus: no, but it's usually a problem with the mirror or network setup ...23:18
cjwatsonCompBrain: /usr/lib/base-installer.d/ if you're willing to guarantee that you're going to set it up at least as well as base-passwd does; appending to base-passwd's default one in /usr/lib/post-base-installer.d/ might be wiser though23:19
CompBraincjwatson: thanks!23:20
orbituswell there's no proxy or caching device or even firewall affecting me. 9 out of 10 mirrors threw a 404 until i found one that actually threw me what i wanted23:20
orbitusunrelatedly, lilo-installer/skip -- is that capability available for hardy installs or was it added thereafter cjwatson ?23:21
cjwatsonthat's ancient23:23
cjwatsonoh, hmm, unfortunately I think it was broken in hardy23:24

orbitusdamn23:27
orbituscjwatson, any chance it'll be fixed? otherwise, do you have have a pleasantly disgusting hack up your sleeve?23:30
orbitusglad to know i'm not losing it at least, addled though my brain may be23:30

cjwatsonassuming that you're OK with simply not installing a bootloader at all23:32
orbitiousyep that's the intent23:32
orbitiousthanks much23:32
