If you've read some threads in debian-user a long time ago (I've got a
backlog ;) there was an issue getting mondo/mindi to work with stock
Debian kernels (i.e., any kernel that has initrd). In fact, Hugo himself
was finding Debian so  difficult he even went so far as saying he hated
Debian (poor guy)... But now that things are a 'lil bit better, Hugo
admits that he now likes Debian...
