What will the package names be?
How should this be presented? The choices I can imagine are:
1) Everyone gets asked a question in the "Installing the base system" step of
installation.
2) Some kind of option in the CD boot menu.
3) No UI, but we document a boot parameter to select the backported kernel.
I assume that this is alternate/server CDs only, and presumably only
where we have space - I don't know the answer to this right now and it
may even only be feasible on netboot installs depending on how the
numbers work out. Doing it for the desktop CD is significantly more
complex, and I'd question the usefulness anyway since if you can boot
the desktop CD at all then by definition you have a kernel which works
fairly well (with the possible exceptions of audio and networking) - at
any rate this doesn't seem like the first reasonable target.
