The last I heard was that yaird would be favored in the installer, but initramfs-tools would be listed as the first alternative in the kernel package dependencies to provide a better upgrade path from sarge. I've only tested initramfs-tools on alpha anyway and have no idea whether/how well yaird works, so I'm not going to push to change this for beta2, I'm just wondering why it's done this way. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
