Hmm. Could we not be a little bit smarter and include only those udebs on a CD for which we have kernels on the CD? I would guess we should be able to automate that in some way. IMHO it would be good if we could leave the 'old' version of udebs on the mirrors a bit longer than currently. That would also reduce the amount of installation failures by people who use a installer version that uses the previous version of the kernel. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBrMx/gm/Kwh6ICoQRAn1NAKCx8WpJkgCS8EGyavwN0831tZjKvACfRVYZ RatwUvpBYWsMOjdWFzPN0e0= =nFCL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
