That's how I found the problem on a 2001/10/16 stable. I HAVE ALREADY DONE A "LITTLE INVESTIGATION", first by trying to replace sysinstall source code by what I had immediately under the hand, that is a source on 2001/05/11. Since, as I said in this very message, I have done the same test with sysinstall source from 4.4-RELEASE - after a partial cvsup - and found that this (seemed to) solved the problem. So the problem (seems to) lies with mods which has been done after the RELEASE. But I am also paid to do some other work, and making releases at home on a 233 MMX at 12 hours per try is not a very efficient exercice. I just thought that signalling a possible bug as soon as possible could be useful to the community, and that there existed people who could be interested with correcting it. As for me, I may live for a time with 4.4-RELEASE sysinstall... > - Jordan > Claude Buisson Who finds everyday that trying to be helpfull is not so easy... > > > > > > On Sun, 28 Oct 2001, Jordan Hubbard wrote: > > > > > Sysinstall doesn't verify checksums in transit (though that would be a > > > cool feature).
