Only do boot disk stuff for x86 and alpha if the image is supposed to be
bootable. For i386 and amd64 this avoids downloading D-I images for all
30+ CDs in a full set.
This environment variable was used by simple-cdd to force the default
installation option to the graphical installer. Now that we have the
syslinux VESA menu, the option has become rather pointless.
See #512303 for discussion.
Include all four desktop environments supported by tasksel (GNOME, KDE,
LXDE and Xfce).
On x86 also add an option in the isolinux menu (under Advanced options)
to select which DE to install; GNOME remains default.
Supports installation of either an xfce or an lxde desktop environment.
For now use B as identifier for INSTALLER_CD in contrib/testingcds.
Includes a framework to manipulate the isolinux configuration for x86 so
that a user can select which desktop he wishes to install.
so that we can archive them (both binaries and sources). If we need
anything, we will list it in CD$N.pkgs_extracted so that external
scripts can pick it up and do whatever's needed.
* Minor changes to the interface of tools/which_deb to accommodate that:
now just lists the files *within* the mirror; it's up to callers to
prepend ${MIRROR} as needed.
Modify the syslinux configuration for amd64/i386 multi-arch images
and use ifcpu64.c32 to autodetect 32/64-bit systems when a user hits
enter from the isolinux help screens.
Based on research done and info provided by Franklin Piat.
Currently the isolinux configuration only gets created correctly if the
two arches are specified in the order "amd64 i386". Change the lenny x86
boot script so it works the other way around too.
+ Remove binary blobs from the package; pull those files from the
.debs in the archive as needed (isolinux.bin, vesamenu.c32)
+ sbm.bin *not* yet worked out, so drop it for now
+ Pull out the code to find the right deb and put it in a new helper
shell script (tools/which_deb), called from Makefile and boot-* as
needed.
