26 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
27 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
29 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
30 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
31 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
32 text as "stable" is invalid.
33 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
34 * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
35 mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
36 myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.
37 * Slightly improve wording of -t and -p options.
38 * Do not try to create /etc/debootstrap if it already exists (which
39 might be the case when installing to a directory).
40 * Mention hostname in configuration check dialog.
41 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
42 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!
43 * Use ls for locating /dev/md* devices instead of echo so we don't
44 have '/dev/md*' in the interactive partition dialog.
45 * Do not display mountpoint if we are using the default one.
46 * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
48 * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.
50 * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).

64 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
65 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
66 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
67 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
69 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
70 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
71 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
72 display for checking configuration again.
73 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
74 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
76 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
77 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
78 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
79 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
82 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

188 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.
