"dpkg -i" is the correct way. [...] > Anyway, I decided that no news was good news, that everything must > have been put where it belonged and I was ready to reboot.

Also, (on a semi-related topic) could you not compile in DevFS support at all (not just having support, but disabled by default)? It makes the boot-floppies puke completely. Chris, your document looks good. You might also mention that you can ssh into the box and 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes'. As for running dpkg-reconfigure upon reboot, there are a few problems. Firstly, it wouldn't fix existing kernel .debs. Secondly, it is unexpected; what if you are remotely upgrading the kernel? Thirdly, the best solution is probably user education...
