As far as I can understand, your suggestion was to give up on tracking kernel ABI changes between any two uploads of the kernel. > downloading module source along w/ a compiler, and building them during > install. Some third party modules may be necessary for things like disk drive support or ethernet support. Before these are available, d-i has only an initrd available; d-i already brely fits on lower memory machines (32 mb or so); I hope you're not suggesting we run gcc there. Even a minimal compiler seems like quite a stretch, even assuming it would work. -- see shy jo
