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

81 display for checking configuration again.
82 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
83 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
85 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
86 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
87 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
88 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
91 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
