66 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
67 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
69 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
70 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.

81 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
82 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!

86 * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
88 * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.
