[...] There seems to have been some confusion about whether this table lists kernel or installer flavours. As this is the installation manual, I think it makes sense to document the latter. Not only is there no 5kc-malta installer flavour for mips or mipsel, there is also no armmp-lpae flavour of the installer for armel. Please delete that as well. Also, the versatile flavour for armel was dropped after we accidentally broke the kernel configuration and yet received no bug reports about it. Please delete that as well. Finally, two of the architectures are missing documentation of their installer flavours: - For i386 there are default and xen installer flavours. The xen installer flavour is needed for Xen PV domains only. - For powerpc there are powerpc and powerpc64 installer flavours. I believe powerpc64 is needed on all systems with 64-bit OpenFirmware.
