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

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

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