RE: new installer

["dan" <dan@mirrorlynx.com>]

DI-2.6 is my project for porting debian installer to 2.6 kernels.  It can be
found at alioth.debian.org/projects/di-26.  I have hopes of merging it into
the original tree when its completed.

I have only one short question: what the hell is the di-2.6 project?
