--- Begin Message ---Package: base-installer Version: 20060616 Severity: wishlist The kernel selection should be improved. In the following, I am assuming that the optimisation level can be autodetected. Using uname(1) or /proc/cpuinfo, this should not be a problem. I suggest: Standard mode: - use the kernel-image-2.x-y package corresponding to architecture and kernel used for the installation. that package depends on the latest kernel in that series, which is what most users will want. - if the install was with a 2.4 kernel, consider asking the user whether to install 2.4 or 2.6. if it was done with a 2.6 kernel, then use 2.6 since it may be required for the hardware. Expert mode: - ask the user whether to install 2.4 or 2.6, if the install was with a 2.4 kernel. if it was done with a 2.6 kernel, then use 2.6 since it may be required for the hardware. - ask whether to use a 'specific kernel', or the 'latest in the series'. - depending on the answer, show a list of 2.x.y-<arch> packages or 2.x-<arch> packages (which depends on the latest 2.x.y-<arch> package) respectively.

It has even received more improvements since. :) Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio .''`. [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
