Of course, debian-installer doesn't use those, and never will (I need at least 2.6.7 w/ the PCI fixes to be able to do any development on 2.6); so it's entirely at the kernel team's discretion whether they should be kept until 2.6.7 becomes available. > Hopefully someone's working on 2.6.7 for alpha, so we can get rid of all > traces of 2.6.[1-6] from sid.. Not I. I've heard grumblings about no one being in charge of the alpha builds, and that there was a possible volunteer, but I haven't heard that he's volunteered just yet. :) -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
