yep, nice. > Or am I not reading the "Why is package X not in testing yet?" > pages.....? I was hoping to get a clean d-i installation this weekend :-) The module udebs will only move to sarge once rc3 is released, since theywould break rc2 if not. .udebs are migrated manually. This means that you either have to use cd and businesscard/netinst, or use netboot and make sure to use the unstable udebs. Friendly, Sven Luther
