I'd like to see the magic moved into the kernel packaging. Right now the magic is performed using the kernel-wedge package and config files from <http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/d-i/trunk/packages/kernel/?rev=0&sc=0>. Really it's just creating udebs with the kernel and specific modules. -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
