This sound like a very good idea. It is good to see an starting point for the discussion. :) > it may make the communication between the d-i team and the kernel > maintainers. Did you drop some words from the sentence? It will make the communication better, I guess? > http://debian.ipv4.waldi.eu.org/debian-installer/kernel-policy/ Would it be possible to make one long web page instead of all the small ones? It was painful to read it. Some comments: > Chapter 2.

I'm not sure if the tmpfs support is needed. I'm not sure if devfs can be a module, or if it must included in the kernel. > Chapter 3.

Eh, we want to use a normal kernel in d-i, so the general kernel images is not outside the scope of the d-i kernel documentation, right? > Chapter 3.

Why the name change? The current packages are called kernel-image-VERSION-udeb and TYPE-modules-VERSION-udeb, I believe. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
