Thanks for the pointer. AFAICS it's for the user who installs a kernel-image package though; is there a way to influence this with kernel-package or in my source package that I'm not seeing? > im not sure how it thinks you use lilo... since lilo can't be > installed on a powerpc if its choosing to use lilo it would end up > saying nothing in the postinst, which i think is correct when the > native bootloader is not directly supported. That wouldn't be a problem, but it asks the exact same questions as it would on an i386 box. I wasn't keen to find out what happens when it tries to run lilo so I said no to all of them... -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper) \ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer CS student, Free Software enthusiast \ XFree86 and DRI project member
