Package: n/a
Version: n/a

When installing i.e.
debian-live-6.0.6-i386-gnome-desktop.iso
debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso
etc...

/live/initrd.img does not include CIFS support
CIFS is very handy when PXE booting Debian live from Windows OSs as Serva does 
it here.

Serva solves the problem by loading a complementary initrd 
containing/installing:

des_generic.ko
md4.ko
cifs.ko
mount.cif

these files are all originally taken from the corresponding filesystem.squashfs

Serva also patches /script/live adding support for the command line variable 
"ipby",i.e. ipby=dhcp, ipby=bootp, solving some problems with some DHCP servers

I hope you guys can add CIFS support on future Debian install systems then 
Windows users will not need complementary initrd files when PXE booting Debian.

Please let me know if I wasn't clear enough on my description.

Best,
Patrick
