2    
3      [ Martin Michlmayr ]
4      * Remove all information about RiscPC because these machines are
5        no longer supported.
6    
7      [ Joey Hess ]
8      * Document the new tasksel/desktop preseed for lenny.
9    
10      [ Frans Pop ]
11      * Add cm-super to build dependencies as that improves the quality of the
12        Russian PDF version.
13      * Suggest 'nousb' instead of debian-installer/probe/usb as USB modules are
14        now loaded automatically.
15      * Fix incorrect instruction for preseeding local repositories.
16        Thanks to Rémi Demarthe. Closes: #420894.
17      * Add translatable entities for Continue, Cancel and Go Back buttons.
18      * Add build dependencies on texlive-lang-* packages for languages for which
19        the manual has translations.

23    
24      [ Joey Hess ]
25      * Document new lilo-installer/skip preseed.
26      * Document passwd/user-default-groups preseed.
27    
28      [ Colin Watson ]
29      * Recommend preseeding mirror/country to "manual" rather than "enter
30        information manually" (choose-mirror 2.17).
31      * Remove text talking about devfs-style device names, which are no longer
32        supported.
33      * preparing/minimum-hardware-reqts.xml: Pluralise "gigabyte" consistently.
34    
35      [ Joey Hess ]
36      * Document clock-setup/ntp.
37    
38      [ Frans Pop ]
39      * Support for sparc32 has been discontinued for Lenny. This also means that
40        booting from floppy is no longer supported for sparc.
41      * Extend the documentation of apt-setup, especially the decision whether or
42        not to use a network mirror. Document selection of services.
43      * Document new apt-setup/services-select and related hostname preseeds.
44      * Add some information about creating device files in the appendix on chroot
45        installs; also add a note that the appendix only covers the basic steps
46        of a chroot install.
47      * Warn against installing Debian while another OS is hibernated.
48    
49      [ Joey Hess ]

53      * Document debian-installer/exit/halt preseed.
54    
55      [ Colin Watson ]

57        well as preseeding the partman confirmation messages.
58    
59      [ Frans Pop ]
60      * Make copyright refer explicitly to GPL version 2 as that is the version
61        included in the appendix; add reference to /usr/share/common-licenses to
62        make Lintian happy.
63      * Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base to avoid its inclusion in
64        the package for the first architecture. Closes: #416304.
65      * Modify language codes that include a country for the doc-base document ID
66        so they only contain valid characters.
67      * Remove the PDF section in doc-base files if PDF format is not built for a
68        language.
69      * Update standards version to 3.7.3; no changes needed.
70      * Patch from Changwoo Ryu to replace Hangul-ucs with ko.tex fonts for Korean
71        PDF version of the manual. Closes: #457137.
72      * using-d-i:
73        - move clock-setup, tzsetup and user-setup to reflect their changed
74          position in the installation procedure
75        - mention that clock-setup will now attempt to set the system time from a
76          time server
77        - split clock-setup as part is now executed during finish-install
78        - add instructions on how a different time zone from the one(s) that match
79          the selected location can be set (as that is a FAQ)
80        - improve readability of partman section by using separate subsections for
81          guided and manual partitioning
