3 [ Colin Watson ]
4 * Note that partman-auto/init_automatically_partition is only honoured if
5 partman-auto/method is not set.
6 * Document the use of grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy to
7 switch back to GRUB Legacy for those who need it.
8 * Remove spurious quoting in network-console documentation, pointed out by
9 Jonathan Amery.
10 * partman now asks a slightly different (and less scary) confirmation
11 question if it doesn't appear that any data is being overwritten.
12 Document the associated preseeding changes.
13
14 [ Frans Pop ]
15 * Add missing hyphen in command "kbd-config". With thanks to Tapio Lehtonen.
16 Closes: #545584.
17 * Include a caution in the IA64 version of the manual against using IA64
18 for "normal" 64-bit Intel systems.
19 * Disable the variant for the alpha architecture: it is being dropped as a
20 release architecture for Squeeze.
21 * When updating PO files, set them to a standard width of 79 (same as used
22 for l10n-sync for D-I master PO files).
23 * Document that Debian now installs Recommends by default and how to disable
24 that.
25 * x86 USB boot: two improvements suggested by Timo Juhani Lindfors and one
26 by Samuel Thibault. Closes: #532437, #532440, #548534.
27 * welcome: add a link to www.kernel.org and remove the no longer valid link
28 to www.kerneltraffic.org. Closes: #331523.
29 * Document new help functionality.
30 * Update for changes in locale selection in localechooser 2.17 and 2.18:
31 - selecting a different country is now always possible at high priority;
32 - change in order of selection of additional locales and default locale;
33 - selection of a preferred locale if a combination of language and country
34 was selected for which no locale exists;
35 - support for separate preseeding of language, country and locale.
36 * Mention option to select UTC as time zone at medium/low priority.
37
38 [ Martin Michlmayr ]
39 * Mention more Kirkwood-based devices that are supported.

42 boolean (and not a string).
43
44 [ Joey Hess ]
45 * Reword section on installer's support of wireless.
46
47 [ Steve Langasek ]
48 * Update the appendix on chroot installs to not recommend mapping 127.0.0.1
49 to the hostname; use 127.0.1.1, the same as the installer itself does.
50
51 [ Frans Pop ]
52 * Update and extend information on preseeding partman. Based on a patch from
53 Vincent McIntyre. Closes: #511053.
54 * Use 'ip addr' instead of 'ifconfig' to get MAC address for RARP setup.
55 * Update information on setting up a TFTP server.
56 * As of Lenny syslinux no longer requires that the TFTP server supports the
57 'tsize' option (see #570273). With thanks to Ferenc Wagner.
58 * Using D-I: add subsection intruducing supported partitioning options,
59 including a list of supported file systems.
60 * Disabling framebuffer on x86 now also requires passing 'vga=normal'. With
61 thanks to Samuel Thibault. Closes: #577461.
62 * Update for switch of G-I from DirectFB to X.Org.

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

74 for serial console installs. Based on a patch suggested by Samuel Thibault.
75 Closes: #524666.
