[valuable text smipped] Thanks for posting this, which answers a question I'd long wondered about. I think I shall continue with the manual configuration for the moment, a. because I'm used to it, and b. because I get quite a few of the advantages you list by using loadlin.exe on a small DOS partition, where I also store my previous kernels. I can thus revert to an earlier kernel simply by changing a line in a .bat file. Buh this was a very useful post; in fact, it ought to be available on the official Debian site (perhaps it is?).
