20        example.

23    
24      [ Robert Millan ]
25      * Document how to start the installer from Windows.
26

98      * Document clock-setup/ntp.
99    
100      [ Frans Pop ]

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

141          the selected location can be set (as that is a FAQ)
142        - improve readability of partman section by using separate subsections for
143          guided and manual partitioning
144        - network-console: add information about dropped connections and how to
145          avoid that (closes: #458154); add footnote with command to remove a host
146          from the known_hosts file
147      * howto, preseed: update for reordering of the installation procedure.
148      * Change build dependency on gs-common to ghostscript.
149      * Use --previous when updating PO files so translators can see the changes
150        in a string.
151    
152      [ Colin Watson ]
153      * Use &releasename; rather than hardcoding etch in sources.list
