Yes, you were right - the default kernel ist still 2.2.20 with Debian GNU
Linux 3.0 (!). To be honest, I did not expect that any recent distribution
would not come with Kernel 2.4.x, so I didn't even check it. Shame on me ;-)
I installed Kernel 2.4.18-k7, but this was not trivial since the installation
did not generate a valid modules.conf automatically (as I would have expected),
so I had to manually enter all the modules for the machine hardware (like
Ethernet, SCSI, sound etc.).
Hopefully this problem will also be fixed with Debian 3.1 ?
I think many Linux Newbies will find it difficult to manually figure out their
hardware configuration.
Now the DVD images just build, I will test the installation from DVD+R/-R
today/tomorrow and let you know the results.
When running make official_images, this message appears:
---
Adding the selected packages to each CD :
Unable to find debootstrap program
---
I also noticed that there is still KDE 2.2.2 included, I think I need to
generate an image with KDE 3.1 updates for our customers. This might be
a non-trivial task too.
