As pointed out by pkern, we need them on netinst media too.
Also removed the old mention of businesscard media in the top of
forcd1 - they've been gone for ages
Those symlinks make it easier to build Kali images with debian-cd.
They are pointing to "sid" so that they are automatically updated
when the underlying symlink is updated. It makes senses since Kali
is a rolling distribution based on Debian Testing.
Fixes syntax errors on Perl 5.24 where '$_' may
no longer be declared as 'my'. Being a global symbol,
'$_' has to be declared as 'local' inside functions.
Only export WGET_OPTS="--ca-directory /etc/ssl/ca-debian/" when this
directory actually exists, making it easier to use debian-cd on non-
debian.org machines.
CD creation fails with "disk full", because of rounding errors.
The minimum size of data-allocation is a 'cluster', which is a
power-of-two multiple of sectors.
mkfs.msdos chooses minimum FAT and cluster size for image: FAT12<16G
mkfs.msdos uses block-count where a block is 1024 B, but must be rounded
up to track_size with 32 sectors.
Round up each file to clusters before summing.
A sub-directory entry needs 1 cluster minimum.
Previous changes enabled gzip compressed Linux kernels, but not 100%
sure that it works on all systems. Disable this compression for now.
Switch hppa to use xorriso by default instead of mkisofs. Xorriso
supports kernel command lines to be up to 1023 bytes, better than
mkisofs. mkisofs only supports the older palo version 4 header format
which can hold only 127 characters which might be too small.
Previously, this code was being confused by the re-use/overloading of
existing keywords in the ifcpu64.c module and not producing any menu
entries. Now, explicitly parse the new options and pick out just the
64-bit menus as they're a strict superset of the menus in isolinux.
This may enable some more issues, e.g. people trying to load a 64-bit
kernel on a 32-bit system, but until we get some auto-detection of CPU
in grub there's not much we can do about that. Let's get *something*
working at least.
Currently the ins loader (mostly HMC loading into an LPAR) only
supports kernels up to 8 MiB. The jessie kernel has 11 MiB, which
does not fit and hence gets its tail overwritten by the initrd
(root.bin) loaded at this address. This change bumps the load
address to 16 MiB, which should allow for some more growth of
the kernel.
