dmesg kernel trace and base system without less/man (WAS: Re: debian-installer now available in Ports)
BTW, I get this in dmesg output, on both the installer boot and when
booting the installed -smp kernel.

[ 0.000000] Using PowerMac machine description
This might be fixed in a 4.10 kernel, but I just thought it would be
worth mentioning it here.
*Despite* the message the kernel *seems to work* in an orderly fashion.
And one more thing I noticed: less is missing on both the installer
(shell) and on the base installation thereafter. man is also not
installed. I would have thought that man and less were part of a base
system...
