I used aptitude to install mondo (etch) on a new install:
aptitude install mondo
The dependent package mindi was installed and the recommended package
kernel-image-2.6-amd64 was installed automatically. When this was
installed, lilo was run and /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-amd64 was linked to
/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-amd64 was linked to /initrd.img.
This was a problem because my machine is a PIV. It was easily fixed
with the rescue function on the Debian net-install cdrom, but I think
that if Linux/kernel images should be in suggested not recommended if
the default behavior of aptitude is to install them. Otherwise, this
could cause unnecessary grief for less experienced users (such as those
who have never rolled their own kernels, and so are not familiar with
the booting process).
Yours sincerely,
Neil Katz
