2240 (requires debconf 1.4.42 and cdebconf 0.75), but leave it disabled for
2242 * Create /etc/fstab in the target (this also seems to solve the problem
2243 with noatime disappearing, and so should reduce snapshot utilization)

2263 readable menu item text
2264 * Create /usr/lib/casper/{pre,post}.d and move all of our internal logic
2266 * Create temporary symlinks in pre.d for the prebaseconfig.d items we
2268 * Convert errors into proper error dialogs
2269 * Make some pre.d scripts idempotent, for ease of testing

2287 * Attempt to configure X
2288 - This doesn't work very well yet (PCI BusID doesn't seem to get
2289 updated, for example), so we still don't start gdm by default)
2290 * Conditionalize some of the configuration code, so we automatically do
2291 the right thing if gdm or X isn't installed
2292 * Add German translation from Andreas Mueller
2293 * modprobe ext2, to let powerpc work (this should probably happen
2294 elsewhere, but for now...)

2309 the filesystem image anyway, but weren't)

2315 * Use mount --move to move the cdrom mount point, so that we can unmount
2316 /initrd and free up the memory used by d-i
2317 * Use /dev/ram1 rather than /dev/ram0 for the COW stuff, since /dev/ram0
2318 is used for initrds and we want to avoid confusion
2319 * Organize casper-udeb.postinst into shell functions
2320 * Add a progress bar
2321 * Add a debian/compat file (version 4)
