How the hell can i use this ? i don't have any bk installed, and i doubt
bk will ever be debian packaged so i will have to clutter my system, and
they ask me about some collection of stupid questions before i can download,
and finally it is not even possible to download this stuff.

I suppose there is another free solution for downloading the bk kernel,
does anyone have a link to it or to documentation about how to do it ?
