[pkg-fso-maint] Bug in http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/freerunner/install.sh

[Niccolo Rigacci]

Hi,

I tried to install Debian on the OpenMoko Freerunner, I had 
several problems with the install.sh script.

One problem is the cylinders calculation, which uses the shell 
mathematical substitution. The script ignores that shell uses 
integer numbers, here it is a workaround:

diff install.sh.orig install.sh
755c755
<       lastcylinder=$(($cylinders-($cylinders*$SD_SWAP_SIZE/$mb)))
---
>       lastcylinder=$(( $cylinders - (($cylinders * (1000000 * $SD_SWAP_SIZE / $mb)) / 1000000) ))



Another problem is with my fdisk (an updated SHR), which uses 
block units per default instead of cylinders units. I had to add 
an "u" command on each fdisk invocation, but I fear that it is a 
fix which does not fit any environment.
