Actually that would be: http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html it mentions (incorrectly) the boot flavors that will be found on the 3.0 CD's; so that needs to be updated anyway. The 2.4bf kernel has actually been available for quite some time, I am just suggesting that it be the 'default' kernel for the i386 CD#1. It solves many problems when installing on newer hardware, whos function/devices are not supported by older kernels. - --side note, I have tested this change, burned a disk, and done a few test installs, and actually it has worked flawlessly for me.....not that that means anything....;-) > > We have the README.html stuff in debian-cd, there may be references to > debian-cd in the boot floppies documentation, and of course the > debian-cd web site.

The README.txt for woody does not mention 2.2.xx kernels, although it still says that one is installing version 2.2 (potato) [humm] > > Apart from that, I'd like to hear from debian-boot if there is any > restrictions of use for the bf2.4 flavor ? > ditto > And last, woody ought to be 2.2 based and not 2.4 based ... but since I > also find it lame to use 2.2.x by default nowadays ... > I disagree, 2.4.x kernels have been out for over 2 years.....we should not release a "new" version of Debian with such an outdated kernel !
