I know all this but for the moment my problem is to have the YDL installer
starting on
this damn old 4400. The choice of the bootloader comes later on during the
install.
I have to substitute the default kernel on the CD by a kernel suitable for the
4400
but I don't know if this is sufficient (should I substitute the ramdisk_image
too?)
The problem is the installer does not have the suitable kernels for the 4400
basically.
ThanX
