Hm. I have no problems doing this, really. What i wrote was about DFSG (i.e main archive) and installation. > As for me, I want to make progress, to etch and a 2.6.18 kernel.

[sounds ubuntu-like, but no flamewars, please] And this is possible without any *firmware* in debian/main and installation process. I will support .18 in etch as much as i can. BTW, even .18 isn't enough for modern (0-1 year) office PCs, and there are doubts about backporting stuff from new upsteam. For example i have such PC, which require some new bytes from new r8169.c. Will kernel team backport that? I doubt it. Anyways, more frequent releases aren't much for old-good servers, IMHO. ____ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
