2237 * Convert errors into proper error dialogs
2238 * Make some pre.d scripts idempotent, for ease of testing

2244 * Disable X configuration temporarily; need to resolve debconf issues

2250 * Allow "modprobe ext2" to fail; apparently it's sometimes compiled in

2256 * Attempt to configure X
2257 - This doesn't work very well yet (PCI BusID doesn't seem to get
2258 updated, for example), so we still don't start gdm by default)
2259 * Conditionalize some of the configuration code, so we automatically do
2260 the right thing if gdm or X isn't installed
2261 * Add German translation from Andreas Mueller
2262 * modprobe ext2, to let powerpc work (this should probably happen
2263 elsewhere, but for now...)

2269 * Mount tmpfs on /tmp and /var/run, should save many writes to the snapshot

2275 * Disable anacron and postfix startup
2276 * Don't cripple /bin/apt-install in d-i (this was a workaround to
2277 prevent d-i from installing packages which should have been present in
2278 the filesystem image anyway, but weren't)

2284 * Use mount --move to move the cdrom mount point, so that we can unmount
2285 /initrd and free up the memory used by d-i
2286 * Use /dev/ram1 rather than /dev/ram0 for the COW stuff, since /dev/ram0
2287 is used for initrds and we want to avoid confusion
2288 * Organize casper-udeb.postinst into shell functions
2289 * Add a progress bar
2290 * Add a debian/compat file (version 4)
