You could see that by looking at available packages, I'd say ;-) By looking at them, I see that there are 2.2.25 packages for amiga, atari, mac, BVME4000/6000, MVME147, and MVME16x/17x. For 2.4.27, all of the above plus Q40/Q60. For 2.6.8, all of the above plus HP9000 and Sun3 machines. > - Which are preferred / used by default by Debian Installer? Now that is a very good question :-) If I'm not mistaken (and I'm sure Stephen or Christian will correct me if I am), it's as follows: for mac, 2.2; for everything else, 2.4. The architectures only supported by 2.6 kernels haven't been tested very well yet, and don't yet have debian-installer support either; so these don't have to be mentioned in the release notes, I'd say (or if you do, only to say that there's no supported installer for them yet). -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
