Not sure, but is this not kernel-package defaulting to quik for prep boxes ? > I would suggest to be more conservative when it comes to figuring out > the correct bootloader, and offer the user access to a shell as a > fallback. We really need a prep-installer, i had contributed the needed stuff to parted to create a prep bootable partition, not sure i commited it though. We would then need a partman-prep, like the partman-palo, and a prep-installer which moves the kernel to the right place, after having called mkvmlinuz on it. Mmm, i believe that mkvmlinuz is already called on prep during base-installer. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
