The Efika (http://www.genesippc.com/efika.php) needs 2.6.19 based patches, so
will not be supported, altough i have a d-i build using a modified
base-installer, which will grab the kernel package from a separate repo.
It would really be friendlier if base-installer would allow pre-configure
hooks, which would be invoked after debootstrap, but before the whole
apt-checking stuff. I just added a few lines at the end of configure_apt right
now.
Friendly,
