Re: Sarge Kernel Image Package Question

Somehow the Debian Developers don't see this as a problem (having to
manually install the meta package). I reported this in March [1] when
it appeared to me to be a problem many users would have since the meta
package, kernel-image-2.6-686, was /not/ installed in the default sarge
installation.

I hope Etch will install the meta package by default.

Why should it? Many people prefer to manually choose their kernels, as
this is not something you can upgrade at any given time. It is not a
problem either way - installing or removing a meta package is not that
hard, is it?
