  • Taketoshi Sano posted the translation of the article of Martin Schulze in debian-devel@debian.org. <19990913032212.E21536@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. And Akira YOSHIYAMA, the author of the boot-floopies-ja, indicated crux short points on the current boot-floopy system. He said the current one highly depends on the Debian version and there's no flexiblity against the change of the package configuraion. The below is a part of list.
    • boot-floopies do the configuration setup after the installation. It should be done by the side of package management.
    • boot-floppies checks the package-selection's dependency.
    • To require base system makes Debian archive larger to unnecessary level and make it depends to the Debian version.
