Well, for *me* at least this is not minor, because it means I need to rebuild the kernel before I can start installing, as I've currently only have a spare firewire cable (which I frequently used with various kernels already). At which state do you reconsider eth1394 support? Given that the developer of this module is a DD I hope this happens soon. > see discussions on d-kernel, > nobody spoke up when the anncouncement about missing eth1394 was declared. It would be kind if you could announce this a little more prominently (e.g. on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ ) as I do not read d-kernel. Thanks!
