cleverness of selecting the abbreviations will really fry us later, I
think. Could we go back to just numbering the options? Seeing

I did fix a few of them. The majority of others I am willing to let
slide in favor of debian-installer; they'd require major rework.

PCMCIA onto the target partition and start it during the
install. That requires host kernel = target kernel.
I'm not saying that couldn't change, but it would be a non-trivial

owever, the kernel's is pretty sufficient... I'm all for
using devfs for a lot of this, assuming 2.4 stabilizes in time, which I
would hope it would. Of course, that doesn't help for figuring out
which modules to load.

You're right in that it should not ask the option. But it is the same

Speaking of modprobe...
Is the "Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than
/lib/modules/2.2.15/modules.dep" warning still present in modconf? If
so, perhaps we should work around it; it's annoying.
