Businesscard CD can be broken because it downloads the kernel for the new system and version numbers are hardcoded in the selection of kernels. As the udeb responsible for this is included on the CD, it cannot be updated. Netboot, floppy and S/390 installations can be broken because udebs, corresponding to the kernel version the installer was booted with, are no longer available. For these methods the first problem does not exist because the udeb used to install the kernel is retrieved from the net and so can be updated to use the new kernels. Only the second problem can be fixed by keeping old kernel-module-udebs around. Cheers, FJP
