Hi , i get an idee for you.
Hi
i have a sugest .
the trouble :
actually if i download an iso of sarge i get a old 2.4.x kernel or 2.6.x kernel but not the last and i can't get the last beta kernel to.
for example i have this trouble when i install a sarge on computer with some raid5 card where i must boot from this raid. so if the kernel of the install is not the last and don't have the good module .... i can't install sarge ... so i can't update my kernel ... i have this trouble with some motherboard chipset and if you don't get the last kernel you can't talk to the pci devices ... very frustrating for installing ....
I know that maybe you could boot networks debian installer and send the kernel you want but that's a little bed complex for me and not easy to do and you need a pxe boot server near.
the solution:
I have think that's if the unstable or testing distrib is updated weekly by scripts on the debian server , maybe you can do a weekly updated kernel distribution inside the debin dist . for example inside this "new" sarge we will get the 2.4 and 2.6 historical reference and the last 2.6 stable and unstable . weekly updated inside the iso of sarge or sid , etch.
maybe i am wrong . but i think that's for a stupid basic users like me ... really a nice things ....
theire is a other way but it can't solve all trouble and it's more difficult for you .. imagine that's the debian cdrom start a generic kernel just for get a networks access and from this point you can download a new pre-compiled kernel and execute this new kernel (maybe in a chroot) for be able installing from this last recent kernel ....
so i expect my idee could help you . and me ... lol
sincerely
romain
ps:
sorry for my english
