Description Bibär.ch 2008-12-18 17:42:51 UTC

I wanted Gentoo as my Xen-Host, but i can not install it, because i need kernel version 2.6.25 or newer. so to me it's very important. Now I will have to install throug ubuntu or Knoppix, but it's painfull. So please update the kernel of the livecd.

Future releases will be different from the usual naming standard but you will have to wait for a definitive statement from the releng tem for 2009.

There are already automated installcd builds with a 2.6.26 kernel.
