Changes:
installation-guide (20070319ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
.
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Build only English (for now, until we figure out how to avoid trashing
translations quite so badly with Ubuntu branding etc.).
- Build only Ubuntu architectures (amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc,
sparc).
- Extensive (although possibly incomplete) Ubuntu branding, adjustments
for our mirror layout, etc.
- Add "Ubuntu and Debian" and "What is Ubuntu?" section, text borrowed
from the Ubuntu web site. Disable the "What is Debian GNU/Linux?"
section.
- Direct installation reports to ubuntu-users for now.
- Adjust various memory and disk space requirements. Talk about the
default Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu tasks rather than Debian tasks.
- Document mounting /sys in various places.
- Unset supports-floppy-boot for all our architectures.
- Add a few more supports-floppy-boot and bootable-usb conditionals.
- Document our root password and sudo arrangements.
- Document netboot-style USB images. Still mention the hd-media images,
but they're downplayed since many USB sticks are too small for a full
Ubuntu ISO image.
- Document Kickstart installations (currently only the basics, a
reference to Red Hat's documentation, and the differences from
Anaconda).
- Note that an empty preseed file is equivalent to a normal manual
installation.
- Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base.
- Update keyboard preseeding documentation for console-setup.
- Update chroot-install guide for console-setup and language packs; add
a bit more advice about installing grub.
- Remove text talking about devfs-style device names, which are no
longer supported.
- Fix links to web copies of installation manual and example preseed
file.
* Bump kernelversion to 2.6.22.
* Bump x11ver to 7.3.
* Bump GNOME version to 2.20.
* Bump release version and names for Gutsy (LP: #119177).
* Refer to the standard task rather than ubuntu-standard.
* Disable documentation of the GTK frontend.
* Remove latex-hangul-ucs-hlatex build-dependency, as we don't build for
Korean.
