Let's use value-neutral names. It does not seem to be as simple as declaring one flavour "legacy", and in any case using "old" and "new"-type names is painful when you want to add a third, as we discovered with nvidia. Earlier you mentioned -generic and -generic-pae, which would be fine. > Of course, this assumes the Live or Alternate CDs can hold both kernel > packages. We can't assume this - it's very likely that they can't. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- Ubuntu-installer mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-installer
