[01:59] <CarlFK> where are the partition recipes defined?  https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html#preseed-partman
[02:00] <CarlFK> gah, no /boot in # - multi:  separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
[02:01] <CarlFK> meh, planning ahead is too much work.  don't need it right now.
[12:39] <ogra_> hmm
[12:41]  * ogra_ tries to write an initrd tarball installer (for the ac100) ... i would like to have the md5sum of the tarball in the initrd (to make sure they match up) and i'm worndering if there is a way to achieve that without repacking the initrd
[12:42] <ogra_> (or if there is possibly a udeb providing such functionallity already that i could just use (though i woud have to swithc to d-i for that indeed))
[12:42] <cjwatson> perhaps it would be easier to use multiple initrds
[12:43] <ogra_> well, the one i use for install will be trashed at the end of the install anyway
[12:43] <ogra_> the tarball contains oem-config so update-initramfs will be called at the end
[12:44] <ogra_> which actually gets me to another thing i noticed, if we run update-inaitramfs we dont set the reboot notification trigger, i think we shuld
[12:44] <ogra_> *should
[12:46] <cjwatson> I mean multiple initrds *at once* - you can have two (or more) initramfses and they get overlaid
[12:46] <ogra_> oh
[12:46] <ogra_> hmm
[12:47] <ogra_> that will need fine suregery then i think, i only have 8M for all of kernel initrd and bootloader on the device ... but i'll look into it
[12:47] <ogra_> *surgery
[12:52] <cjwatson> it shouldn't make much difference to size - it's just another gzipped cpio archive tacked on the end
[12:52] <cjwatson> I think you may even be able to cat it onto the end of another initramfs if your bootloader is too stupid to be able to load multiple initramfses itself
[12:58] <ogra_> yeah, thats what i read everywhere, i should be simply able to cat them ... i'll try
[13:00] <ogra_> the bootloader has a second stage option that i possibly could abose, i doubt fastboot can take multiple initrd files though, at least in the incarnation the ac100 uses
[14:37] <dpm> hi cjwatson, I know I've asked you this in the past, but I can't quite remember: I'm looking at the LP transaltions imports queue and I see 'templates.pot' templates for the 'localechooser' and 'choosemirror' source packages. Are these translations merged into the debian-installer .pot file and should thus be disabled in launchpad?
[14:39] <cjwatson> dpm: yeah (if you mean choose-mirror rather than choosemirror)
[14:40] <dpm> cjwatson, yeah I meant that one, thanks :)
