Yes, the new d-i process is much nicer. Hopefully the d-i team, or whoever will be taking over the released installer maintenance, will remember to update it once newer kernels are released. :) Also, I haven't checked recently but has anyone started working on making d-i work with 2.6? AIUI 2.4 has already been deemed obsolete so that only major fixes will be allowed and that drivers for newer hardware will only be going into 2.6. Thanks, Chris
