That's precisely what the debian-installer infrastructure does, *if* there are multiple kernel packages available on the CD. Our server profile CD will do that, because we can make room for all the packages, but we can't fit all of it on the usual desktop CD. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ "I have a burning curiosity about everything, everything-- except country and western, of course." - David Bowie -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
