But if we go this route I fear that it will stay this way and there won't be any official images for the Freerunner for a long time. Frans opinion seems to be that it's possible to commit changes to d-i even if we use an external kernel.

We don't need display support for d-i if we use the network-console based d-i. We only need the part of the glamo necessary to access the SD card. Gaudenz
