No, we're not making the 2.6 kernel default on i386 because there is probably insufficient time before the release of sarge to tell if it will tend to work as well on all the varied and broken hardware out there as the 2.4 kernel does. We've been able to make three other architectures (ia64, powerpc, hppa) default to 2.6 because the set of hardware typically used on those platforms is smaller. > If you want 2.6, just install the default kernel and then upgrade to the > rev level of 2.6 that strikes your fancy. No, if you want 2.6, read the documentation and type "linux26" when booting the installer. -- see shy jo
