What will the package names be?
How should this be presented? The choices I can imagine are:
1) Everyone gets asked a question in the "Installing the base system" step of installation.
2) Some kind of option in the CD boot menu.
3) No UI, but we document a boot parameter to select the backported kernel.
I assume that this is alternate/server CDs only, and presumably only where we have space - I don't know the answer to this right now and it may even only be feasible on netboot installs depending on how the numbers work out. Doing it for the desktop CD is significantly more complex, and I'd question the usefulness anyway since if you can boot the desktop CD at all then by definition you have a kernel which works fairly well (with the possible exceptions of audio and networking) - at any rate this doesn't seem like the first reasonable target.
