1161 updated, for example), so we still don't start gdm by default)
1162 * Conditionalize some of the configuration code, so we automatically do
1163 the right thing if gdm or X isn't installed
1164 * Add German translation from Andreas Mueller
1165 * modprobe ext2, to let powerpc work (this should probably happen
1166 elsewhere, but for now...)

1172 * Mount tmpfs on /tmp and /var/run, should save many writes to the snapshot

1178 * Disable anacron and postfix startup
1179 * Don't cripple /bin/apt-install in d-i (this was a workaround to
1180 prevent d-i from installing packages which should have been present in
1181 the filesystem image anyway, but weren't)

1187 * Use mount --move to move the cdrom mount point, so that we can unmount
1188 /initrd and free up the memory used by d-i
1189 * Use /dev/ram1 rather than /dev/ram0 for the COW stuff, since /dev/ram0
1190 is used for initrds and we want to avoid confusion
1191 * Organize casper-udeb.postinst into shell functions
1192 * Add a progress bar
1193 * Add a debian/compat file (version 4)
