[Bug 513841] New: include vfat in kernel-*-base
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513841 Summary: include vfat in kernel-*-base Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lnussel@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development I'd like to suggest including vfat in kernel-*-base instead of the main kernel package. Yesterday I had to fix a system where it's novice user shut down while PackageKit was still updating in the background. Of course in the worst possible moment. kernel-default-base was already updated but not kernel-default. Therefore the system only booted in text mode without network drivers. No chance for a novice user to recover. I had to format a usb stick using ext3 to be able to get kernel packages on the system. Since usb sticks usually use fat it would be nice to have vfat support even in minimal systems. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
