This problem has existed for several weeks. Why does that hinder installation? All architectures use 2.6.30 in the installer. And the linux-image packages are not the responsibility of the D-I team. > 3) When I install a "graphical desktop environment" with Squeeze using > the above d-i images, I get a system that is missing almost all of > gnome due to un-resolvable dependency conflicts. That is also not the responsibility of the D-I team. In general, you can *never* be certain that sid is installable, and certainly not the desktop task. The better option is *always* to install testing and then upgrade to sid afterwards. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
