The account is admirably concise and easy to follow. But the example of the update - from kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 to kernel 2.4.18 does not sound to me like a major update. If I settle for an update to the more stable Sarge kernel (2.4.27), will the described update routine find and load the modules that could not loaded into kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 (because the needed drivers do not exist for kernels older than 2.4.21)? Having installed both Woody and Sarge I am conscious that I had to try and load modules in the Woody install, while the new Installer did it all for me in Sarge.
