Bug#756996: mentions of 2.6 kernel in the d-i manual
Package: installation-guide
Tags: patch
Hi,
in the d-i manual, I have noticed there are some mentions of
2.6 kernel being the default kernel series in Debian.
I have prepared a patch to fix that (attached).
Please note that I have added an entity for the default kernel series
shipped with the respective release.
Would it be worse to add such an entity?
Is 3.14 kernel for Jessie correct?
Comments?
Holger
