x86 USB boot: mini.iso is not usable as ISO image for hd-media Make this more explicit. Apparently listing the images that can be used is not sufficient. Also add a link to section explaining how to get CD images.
x86 usb-boot: two improvements suggested by Timo Juhani Lindfors - hd-media and netboot use different names for kernel binary: the first uses 'vmlinuz', the second 'linux' - when repartitioning the stick, don't forget to set bootable flag
Debian now installs Recommends by default Document this and how to disable it using base-installer/install-recommends.
Use standard width for PO files When updating PO files, set them to a standard width of 79 characters (same as used for l10n-sync for D-I master PO files).
