As I read the original proposal, it was actually only a preseeded option -- if you preseeded netcfg/choose_interface to have a VLANesque name (eth0.X), then vconfig would be invoked, otherwise no such luck. Personally, I think that if you're going to go to the trouble of implementing it, a (low) priority question would be worth the hassle, but personally I don't see why anyone would ever want to install over a *tagged* VLAN, myself. But then, I don't work in a fortress of intransigence, and I get to manage my own network ports. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
