Well, for *me* at least this is not minor, because it means I need to
rebuild the kernel before I can start installing, as I've currently
only have a spare firewire cable (which I frequently used with
various kernels already).
At which state do you reconsider eth1394 support? Given that the
developer of this module is a DD I hope this happens soon.

It would be kind if you could announce this a little more prominently
(e.g. on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ ) as I do not
read d-kernel.
Thanks!
