      and explain issues surrounding drivers that require firmware.
  * preparing:
    - Clean out ancient hardware issues.
  * boot-installer/parameters:
    - Document anna/choose_modules and mirror/protocol boot parameters.
    - Use a clearer way to list the short form of parameters.
    - Document new option to blacklist kernel modules.
  * boot-installer/trouble:
    - Fix reference to Save debug logs menu option.
      Thanks, Philippe Batailler. Closes: #402439.

  * install-methods:
    - All architectures that support TFTP booting also support DCHP, so remove
      the "supports-dhcp" condition.
    - According to the text, Alpha supports BOOTP.
    - Use dhcp3-server for examples rather than dhcp (version 2).
    - tftpd-hpa does not use /tftpboot by default; allow for this in examples.
      Closes: #342076.
  * using-d-i:
    - Extend description of lowmem installs based on a patch suggested by
      Holger Wansing. Closes: #400263.

      automatically after all. Closes: #402437.
    - Add extended section on email configuration (moved from using-d-i as
      exim4 now configures for "local mail only" by default). Closes: #402857.
