Package: base-installer Version: 1.157 Severity: Wishlist Hello D-I team,
The udeb base-installer does always install a kernel. For several virtualisation platform it doesn't make sense to install a kernel. It would be handy to make the kernel install optional. An aproach might installing kernel in a seperate udeb. Another aproach would be a debconf variable like "di/doinstallkernel", a boolean with default value 'true'. Making variable "di/doinstallkernel" _not local_ to base-installer allows it to reuse at bootloader install time. Cheers Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
