15      [ Colin Watson ]
16      * Spell "multiselect" correctly in apt-setup/services-select preseeding
17        example.
18      * Note that an empty preseed file is equivalent to a normal manual
19        installation (thanks, Nathan Sutton).
20    
21      [ Robert Millan ]
22      * Document how to start the installer from Windows.
23    
24      [ Frans Pop ]

28      * Warn about boot issues when using RAID on the root file system.

70      * Add cm-super to build dependencies as that improves the quality of the

90      * Remove text talking about devfs-style device names, which are no longer
91        supported.
92      * preparing/minimum-hardware-reqts.xml: Pluralise "gigabyte" consistently.

94      [ Joey Hess ]
95      * Document clock-setup/ntp.
96    
97      [ Frans Pop ]
98      * Support for sparc32 has been discontinued for Lenny. This also means that
99        booting from floppy is no longer supported for sparc.
100      * Extend the documentation of apt-setup, especially the decision whether or
101        not to use a network mirror. Document selection of services.

117    
118      [ Frans Pop ]
119      * Make copyright refer explicitly to GPL version 2 as that is the version
120        included in the appendix; add reference to /usr/share/common-licenses to
121        make Lintian happy.
122      * Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base to avoid its inclusion in
123        the package for the first architecture. Closes: #416304.
124      * Modify language codes that include a country for the doc-base document ID
125        so they only contain valid characters.
126      * Remove the PDF section in doc-base files if PDF format is not built for a
127        language.

134        - mention that clock-setup will now attempt to set the system time from a
135          time server
136        - split clock-setup as part is now executed during finish-install
137        - add instructions on how a different time zone from the one(s) that match
138          the selected location can be set (as that is a FAQ)
139        - improve readability of partman section by using separate subsections for
140          guided and manual partitioning
141        - network-console: add information about dropped connections and how to
142          avoid that (closes: #458154); add footnote with command to remove a host
143          from the known_hosts file
144      * howto, preseed: update for reordering of the installation procedure.
145      * Change build dependency on gs-common to ghostscript.
146      * Use --previous when updating PO files so translators can see the changes
147        in a string.
148    
149      [ Colin Watson ]
150      * Use &releasename; rather than hardcoding etch in sources.list

152
