Package: cdimage.debian.org Hi. I've just installed testing on a laptop with a very recent Ethernet chipset, only supported by Linux 2.6.38 and later. I started with the "mini" image, and failed, being unable to use the Ethernet interface. It turned out that the mini image uses the older kernel (the same as in Sarge), rather than the more recent image found int he "netboot" image (which is what I finally used). I'm not objecting to the fact that "mini" uses an older kernel; but I object rather strongly to this being completely undocumented. It took me the best part of two hours to work out what the issue was, and that a netboot image would solve my problem. Regards, -- Juliusz
