2.6.0 kernel
Hi, has anyone considered making a version of the installer that uses
the new 2.6.0 kernel? I have a laptop that refuses to do a net install
of anything without that kernel version (at least without a lot of
difficult patching of the 2.4 kernel before I can do anything), and
because of that, I'm interested in having a quick reinstallation route
of "testing" in the event of disaster recovery.... So if no one has
worked on this yet, I'm interested in making a 2.6.0 installer (I also
just made some patches to modconf so it can at least list and load
modules on 2.5 and later kernels).
I thought this would be trivial and I could just change the
KERNELVERSION variable, but then I realized the packages from
debian-installer's sources.list weren't from the normal debian sources,
and I wasn't quite sure where they came from or how they got generated.
(Sorry if this has already been discussed, but the mailing list archive
search function doesn't like to search for numbers or periods [so
"2.6.0" won't work].)
