I've added support for kernel selection for ps3 in SVN for the next upload of base-installer. If you want to test it before then, you can do so by manually making the following changes in /usr/lib/base-installer/kernel.sh before you get to the base-installer stage (e.g. during partitioning): - on the line just below 'case "$CPU" in', add '|cell' before the ')' - on the line just below 'case "$SUBARCH" in', add '|ps3' before the ')' Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
