yaboot-installer relies on having the kernel environment available to it so that it can set video=ofonly in the installed system if it was needed to boot d-i. If this is implemented, it would be very helpful if the variables were made available somewhere else, and preferably for there to be a grace period where they're available in both places. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
