3 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
4 problems (thanks, gebi).
5 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
6 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
7 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
8 text as "stable" is invalid. Thanks, gebi.
9 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab (thanks,

24 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
25 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
26 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
27 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
29 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
30 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
31 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
32 display for checking configuration again.
33 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
34 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
36 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
37 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
38 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
39 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
42 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

81 The "hey, rocking - we get patches via git" release.
83 * Improve look'n'feel of partition error dialog.

106 - modify hostname related options in /etc/postfix/main.cf
107 - listen on loopback interface by default (thanks for suggestion, gebi)
108 * Unify the --bootappend option, it's not --boot_append (thanks for

148 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.

168 * Install devices using our own device tarball instead of running
169 MAKEDEV (which is just an ungly fork bomb).

171 packages like citadel in lenny.
172 * Allow use of comments in file /etc/debootstrap/packages.
