17 [ Frans Pop ]
18 * Switch over from Lenny to Squeeze. Current kernel is 2.6.29.

20 The internal 'arch-spec' and file naming convention remains "arm" in order
21 to avoid unnecessary changes and work for translators.

23 for serial console installs. Based on a patch suggested by Samuel Thibault.

32 * Updates for MIPS:
33 - Show some sections on mipsel that apply there too.
34 - Say that the Cobalt Qube 2700 (Qube1) is no longer supported.

41 mounted.

69 [ Colin Watson ]

73 explaining owners.

79 * Clarify that preseeding aliases are only aliases for question names, and
