Bug#414690: package description amendment for greater clarity
Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.18+6
The package description (and similarly that of
linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem, linux-image-2.6.18-4-686,
linux-image-2.6.18-4-686-bigmem packages) is this:
'Linux kernel 2.6 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
This package depends on the latest binary image for Linux kernel 2.6 on
Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium III/Pentium 4 machines.'
Which kernel package do you choose if your computer just says 'Intel Xeon'
or 'centrino mobile technology' on the front? I propose the package
description of this and the other -686 kernel packages be reworded to this
which I believe covers the architectures more clearly:
'Linux kernel 2.6 image on Intel PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4/Xeon
This package depends on the latest binary image for Linux kernel 2.6 on
Intel Pentium-Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Pentium III/Mobile
Pentium III (PIII-M)/Pentium III Xeon/Pentium 4/Mobile Pentium 4/Mobile
Pentium 4 M (P4-M)/Pentium 4M/Pentium 4 Extreme Edition/Xeon (32-bit)/Xeon
MP (32-bit)/Pentium M (a part of Centrino) machines.'
And what about Intel Core Solo and Core Duo, is this package optimised for
them?
