-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2004 16:07:11 -0400 Source: debian-installer Binary: debian-installer-manual Architecture: source i386 Version: 20041001 Distribution: unstable Urgency: high Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org> Changed-By: Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Description: debian-installer-manual - Debian installation manual Closes: 264584 265029 265988 267689 269526 269971 Changes: debian-installer (20041001) unstable; urgency=high . * Sven Luther - Switched to 2.6.8-4 and 2.4.27-1 kernels for powerpc. * Thiemo Seufer - Handle arch/subarch specific kernel module udeb inclusion. * Joey Hess - Add page markers to the syslinux help screens. - Update install manual section 3.5 to note that d-i can resize fat, and to de-emphasise the fips stuff. Closes: #265029 - Finish moving installation howto to manual. - Remove now-useless index.en.html. - 24 mb installs are now possible on i386. - Add -- to the end of the syslinux kernel append lines so user-params can work. - Add preseed udebs to initrds and document preseeding in manual. Closes: #265988 - Bump genext2fs build dep to avoid building images with broken versions. - Remove the ugly and no longer needed genext2fs size hack. - Remove the last uses of load-installer, replacing them with download-installer. - i386 updated to 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 kernels. - Add acpi-modules to i386 2.6 initrds so the fan can be turned on. Closes: #264584. - Remove function key descriptions from the bottom of the ia64 help screens, as in my experience the function keys only work from the menu screen. - Make ia64 boot screens somewhat more generic so they can be used for netboot or other image types besides CD. - Use only one elilo.conf for netboot and CD. - Revamp the ia64 netboot, provide a netboot.tar.gz image that contains a fully preconfigured netboot setup with boot menus for 2.6 and 2.4. Make the dest tree have the same layout. - Add -- markers to elilo.cfg boot options. - Update i386 and amd64 netboot to follow ia64. Note that the tarballs have been renamed. - Fix ia64 miniiso support to not hardcode use of specific boot image, remove the miniiso type, and generate a netboot miniiso instead. - Simplify bootscreen-subst parameters. - Based on a patch from Alex Owen, make syslinux help screens explain on serial consoles how to press function keys there, and add a pxelinux config file for 9600 baud serial consoles, available by changing the pxelinux.cfg link. - Comment out the "NewWorld MacOS Installation Files" section of the install manual as it's out of date and has broken links. Closes: #269526 - Add support for depenency resolution to pkg-lists. For now it has to be turned on on a per-package basis by appending an asterisk to the line, since many udebs have messed up dependencies and inter-image dependencies are not accounted for. - Make pkg-list warn about unsatisfied dependencies. - Use dependency resolution for the nic-modules package, as its dependencies vary from arch to arch and kernel to kernel. Fixes various missing deps on i386 and ia64. - Use dependency resolution for scsi-modules to get rid of the kernel_specific hack. - Drop scsi-modules and usb-storage-modules from ia64 netboot image. - Put efi-reader on ia64 cdrom image. - Remove ia64-extra-modules hack, not needed thanks to nic-modules and scsi-modules dependency resolution. - Add dependencies of nic-usb-modules to net-drivers floppy (usb-modules was missing). - Remove useless (and missing dependencies) usb-storage-modules from cd-drivers floppy. This made space to add back full pcmcia support on this floppy. - Add options to elilo boot menu for serial console installs, as I tire of typing them. - Split access-drivers floppy into net and cd drivers and updated these floppies to 2.4.27. - Remove ide and scsi modules from various arches netboot images. - Move some files to a doc/devel subdirectory. - Moved partman docs over from packages/partman, and build them as part of the doc build process. Add build dep on debiandoc-sgml. - Also moved in partman-auto recipe documentation. - Added example preseed file for automated installs. - Rewrote design.txt. - Use text frontend for ia64 installs via serial console by default, since the default ia64 serial console is 9600 baud. - Add English to i386 root floppies. Closes: #269971 - Set build date to the version date from the changelog when doing official builds, so all builds of a given version claim the same date. - Add a dummy entry to the status file for that gives the overall version of the installer image. - Build-Depend on syslinux 2.11-0.1 to get fix for parameter bug. - Drop all languages from root floppy. Drop all other localised versions of root floppy. Document how to make a custom root floppy containing the language(s) you need. (PC 101: If you can't satisfy everyone, satisfy no-one.) - Move countrychooser back to the root floppy. - Add wireless-tools-udeb and nic-usb-modules to the root floppy because we have the space, so why not? - Update hppa to 2.4.27 kernel. Without testing it, but the 2.4.25 kernel udebs are no longer available. We need hppa developers.. - Patch from Jö Fahlke to consistently refer to DEBCONF_FRONTEND in docs. debconf/frontend doesn't work everywhere yet, and it's better to only support one option. * dann frazier - Add ia64 elilo .msg files from Jim Lieb - Add ia64 2.6 image build goo, contributed by Jim Lieb Closes: #267689 - Move ia64 2.6 flavor to 2.6.8-1 - Move ia64 2.4 flavor to 2.4.27-1 - Make 2.6 the default for ia64 - Add elilo.conf options for faster serial consoles - Add a hint about text mode to the elilo boot params screen * Bastian Blank - Drop the whole bunch of languages on s390. * Stephen R. Marenka - Modify m68k/atari bootargs to default to debian-installer/framebuffer=false. - Update m68k manual. - Add bootfloppy.cfg for all vme. - Enable vme builds. - m68k image reorganization. - Add some m68k/q40 support. - Update all m68k 2.4 kernels to 2.4.27. - Add preseed to nativehd/m68k. - Fix m68k/atari bootargs kernel. * Martin Michlmayr - Improve manifest descriptions of the Broadcom BCM1250 (SWARM) evaluation board. - Put a SiByl TFTP boot configuration script to sb1-swarm-bn/netboot. - Put the SiByl boot loader to sb1-swarm-bn/netboot. - Update the Cobalt manifest descriptions to reflect reality (the config now uses NFS, not TFTP). - Create an nfsroot tar file for Cobalt which can easily be extracted (containing all files including proper symlinks). - Switch mips and mipsel over to 2.4.27. - Put USB and input modules on the sb1-swarm-bn/netboot initrd to allow "desktop like" installations with framebuffer and USB keyboards. - Make sure that the serial console on Cobalt gets turned on. - Update installation menu for mips and mipsel. - Cleanup the ARM config files: declare most variables in one place and use them in various other configs. This makes it easier to switch kernels and makes the code easier to maintain. - Switch ARM over to 2.4.27. * Kurt Roeckx - Use kernel version 2.6.8-3 on amd64. - Remove "2.6" in all amd64 flavours since it's the only we have. * Steve Langasek - install manual updates for the alpha architecture * Christian Perrier - Added build/needed-characters/hi with the help of Pankaj * Claus Hindsgaul - Removed (untranslated) Danish doc files leaving only the very few translated files for a potential future translation effort. * Bastian Blank - s390 updated to 2.4.27 kernel. * Norbert Tretkowski - switch alpha over to 2.4.27. * Christian Perrier - Added the "Harakat" characters to Arabic needed characters. U+064B - U+0652 * Colin Watson - Debian CDs haven't used /install/powermac for a long time. Switch the d-i minimal CD targets to use plain /install. - Add -- to the end of the yaboot kernel append lines so user-params can work. - Don't clean at the end of the daily build (we already clean at the start). - Move socket-modules from powerpc root-2 to root, otherwise syslogging won't work. - Remove serial-modules from root-2. It's only needed for strange PPP stuff which is not needed on the floppies. - Remove PCMCIA support and wireless tools from root-2. The floppies are only needed on OldWorld, which probably either won't have PCMCIA or will have built-in networking. In the rare cases where this might be needed, you can always throw the udeb on a floppy. - Remove nic-extra-modules from powerpc net-drivers. We've changed the module udebs so that all drivers likely to be needed on OldWorld are in nic-modules. - Move everything else from root-2 to net-drivers, and remove root-2. * Steve Langasek - Trim various unneeded udebs from the alpha netboot and cdrom initrds. * Thiemo Seufer - Add all_rebuild convenience rule. - Add the SGI firmware default sashARCS name to bootfiles.
