Not yet, but it is planed. I only have so much time to devote to this
though, so be patient.
In any case, we need to check the new apple hardware and see if the
current kernel boots on it, if not we are going to need 2.6 kernels.
I will try to upload a 2.6 kernel next week or something.
In the meantime, i want us to move to 2.4.24 as default kernel for post
beta2 debian-installer.
