2767 * Allow "modprobe ext2" to fail; apparently it's sometimes compiled in

2773 * Attempt to configure X
2774 - This doesn't work very well yet (PCI BusID doesn't seem to get
2775 updated, for example), so we still don't start gdm by default)
2776 * Conditionalize some of the configuration code, so we automatically do
2777 the right thing if gdm or X isn't installed
2778 * Add German translation from Andreas Mueller
2779 * modprobe ext2, to let powerpc work (this should probably happen
2780 elsewhere, but for now...)

2786 * Mount tmpfs on /tmp and /var/run, should save many writes to the snapshot

2792 * Disable anacron and postfix startup
2793 * Don't cripple /bin/apt-install in d-i (this was a workaround to
2794 prevent d-i from installing packages which should have been present in
2795 the filesystem image anyway, but weren't)

2799 casper (0.2) hoary; urgency=low
2801 * Use mount --move to move the cdrom mount point, so that we can unmount
2802 /initrd and free up the memory used by d-i
2803 * Use /dev/ram1 rather than /dev/ram0 for the COW stuff, since /dev/ram0
2804 is used for initrds and we want to avoid confusion
2805 * Organize casper-udeb.postinst into shell functions
2806 * Add a progress bar
2807 * Add a debian/compat file (version 4)
