Changes:
installation-guide (20080211ubuntu1) hardy; 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.
- 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.
- Disable documentation of the GTK frontend.
* Bump kernelversion to 2.6.24.
* Bump GNOME version to 2.22.
* Bump release version and names for Hardy.

installation-guide (20080211) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Remove all information about RiscPC because these machines are
no longer supported.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Document the new tasksel/desktop preseed for lenny.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Add cm-super to build dependencies as that improves the quality of the
Russian PDF version.
* Suggest 'nousb' instead of debian-installer/probe/usb as USB modules are
now loaded automatically.
* Fix incorrect instruction for preseeding local repositories.
Thanks to Rémi Demarthe. Closes: #420894.
* Add translatable entities for Continue, Cancel and Go Back buttons.
* Add build dependencies on texlive-lang-* packages for languages for which
the manual has translations.
* Document new boot parameters "lowmem" and "dmraid".
* Document new location of graphical mini.iso images.
* Document base-installer/kernel/image preseed.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Document new lilo-installer/skip preseed.
* Document passwd/user-default-groups preseed.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Recommend preseeding mirror/country to "manual" rather than "enter
information manually" (choose-mirror 2.17).
* Remove text talking about devfs-style device names, which are no longer
supported.
* preparing/minimum-hardware-reqts.xml: Pluralise "gigabyte" consistently.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Document clock-setup/ntp.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Support for sparc32 has been discontinued for Lenny. This also means that
booting from floppy is no longer supported for sparc.
* Extend the documentation of apt-setup, especially the decision whether or
not to use a network mirror. Document selection of services.
* Document new apt-setup/services-select and related hostname preseeds.
* Add some information about creating device files in the appendix on chroot
installs; also add a note that the appendix only covers the basic steps
of a chroot install.
* Warn against installing Debian while another OS is hibernated.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Document how to preseed partman-auto to use only available disk, no matter
what it's name is.
* debian/rules: call dh_md5sums.
* Document debian-installer/exit/halt preseed.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Clarify that you need to actually provide an autopartitioning method as
well as preseeding the partman confirmation messages.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Make copyright refer explicitly to GPL version 2 as that is the version
included in the appendix; add reference to /usr/share/common-licenses to
make Lintian happy.
* Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base to avoid its inclusion in
the package for the first architecture. Closes: #416304.
* Modify language codes that include a country for the doc-base document ID
so they only contain valid characters.
* Remove the PDF section in doc-base files if PDF format is not built for a
language.
* Update standards version to 3.7.3; no changes needed.
* Patch from Changwoo Ryu to replace Hangul-ucs with ko.tex fonts for Korean
PDF version of the manual. Closes: #457137.
* using-d-i:
- move clock-setup, tzsetup and user-setup to reflect their changed
position in the installation procedure
- mention that clock-setup will now attempt to set the system time from a
time server
- split clock-setup as part is now executed during finish-install
- add instructions on how a different time zone from the one(s) that match
the selected location can be set (as that is a FAQ)
- improve readability of partman section by using separate subsections for
guided and manual partitioning
- network-console: add information about dropped connections and how to
avoid that (closes: #458154); add footnote with command to remove a host
from the known_hosts file
* howto, preseed: update for reordering of the installation procedure.
* Change build dependency on gs-common to ghostscript.
* Use --previous when updating PO files so translators can see the changes
in a string.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Use &releasename; rather than hardcoding etch in sources.list
recommendation for chroot installs. Closes: #458459.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Make UTF-8 the default encoding for the text version for all languages
that still used ISO-8859-1.
* Korean text version changed to UTF-8 on request of Changwoo Ryu.
* Japanese text version changed to UTF-8 on request of KURASAWA Nozomu.
* Enable PDF for Korean for website builds.
* Disable Finnish, Hungarian and Spanish for this release as they have not
been updated.
