Add missing template and doc for debian-installer/exit/poweroff
Document hw-detect/load_firmware. Closes: #493845
Comment out partman-auto/disk setting in preseed since lenny d-i will automatically work w/o it if there's just 1 disk. Closes: #490287

Document finish-install/keep-consoles boot parameter and preseeding.
Use current release name in 'auto mode' examples
Add an explanation of 'owner' in instructions for creating a preconfiguration file (#478219)

Let mkpasswd example match man page; also update translations
Update how to suppress the removal of existing LVM data using preseeding; with thanks to Geert Stappers

Specify for which release the example preseed file is valid
Minor improvement
Fix now incorrect plural and add a sentence for improved separation to the actual preseed examples
Correct command to use to allow preseeding of netcfg when using a preconfiguration file downloaded from a server (preseed/url). Thanks to Durk Strooisma for the report and analysis. Also correct and unfuzzy PO-based translations.
Fix missing template type; also fix and unfuzzy PO-based translations
* Note that an empty preseed file is equivalent to a normal manual installation (thanks, Nathan Sutton).
* Spell "multiselect" correctly in apt-setup/services-select preseeding example.
Installation is no longer in two stages
Reorder clock/user setup in preconfiguration appendix too
* Clarify that you need to actually provide an autopartitioning method as well as preseeding the partman confirmation messages.
* Document debian-installer/exit/halt preseed.
It does not look like we'll be updating the installation guide for Etch, so remove all the release conditions
fix preseed example for tasksel/desktop
* Document how to preseed partman-auto to use only available disk, no matter what it's name is.
* Document new apt-setup/services-select and related hostname preseeds.
Use fictional ntp server as example
Correct release condition
* Document clock-setup/ntp.
Keep old text for now so we can still build the manual for Etch too
* Remove text talking about devfs-style device names, which are no longer supported.
Document base-installer/kernel/image preseed (lenny only)
fix a mistake in the example of include_command
Document preseeding of passwd/user-uid

Mark new feature for lenny
* Document passwd/user-default-groups.
Make choose-mirror change release dependent
* Recommend preseeding mirror/country to "manual" rather than "enter information manually" (choose-mirror 2.17).

* Document new lilo-installer/skip preseed.
Correct order of sections in line with order during installation; no changes in content
Fix incorrect instruction for preseeding local repositories; thanks to Rémi Demarthe
* Document the new tasksel/desktop preseed for lenny.
- document how to select the ftp protocol during mirror selection - document how to install from CD/DVD only (and not use a network mirror)
Fix error spotted by Aurélien Gérôme; fix and unfuzzy translations too
Add link to Philip Hand's website as it contains many creative examples
As exim no longer asks any questions during installations, there is no real need to document it anymore for preseeding
* Document debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated.
Review of interactive preseed changes
Document foo/bar?=value feature.
Change auto-install/enabled to auto-install/enable, including translations; this was changed for consistency with rescue
Document preseed/interactive parameter
Typo
Cleaned up definitions of some entities and removed unused ones

clarify meaning of "--" on boot command line
Fix a few inconsistencies with current installer reported by Holger Wansing and Tapio Lehtonen
Fix issues reported by Clytie Siddall
Fix build error; you'd think I know better by now...

Owner of user-setup templates should now be d-i, not passwd

Fix typo
- Change default build to Etch. - Remove all Sarge specific content and make Etch specific content default. - Delete some obsolete entities.
merge in ex-base-config branch
Remove variable no longer supported in apt-setup
remove outdated comment about dc_postmaster exim setting; exim integrates with d-i in a way that makes setting it to an empty string deliver postmater mail to the first created user (although this is currently broken by #341130)
Set Id keyword on new file
Updates suggested by Joey after review
minor editing
- Move documentation on preseeding to separate appendix for etch - Use new, more flexible perl script to extract example preseed file from new appendix
Convert a few more bits to proper reference format
Minor changes in tag placement.
Create separate appendix for preseeding for Etch. Needs more work before it is included.
