2010-09-15Update USB stick documentation to reflect isohybird mini.iso files, as ↵Joey Hess
generated by debian-installer >= 20100913. This is very suboptimal, the USB stuff is a dreadful mess and needs a complete rewrite, but hopefully isohybrid full CD images will obsolte it later.

2010-04-05Update installation instructionsWouter Verhelst
Apparently the ss4000e installer firmware image does not work. Since I wrote the support on a borrowed machine, I cannot test any fixes. Since the installer requires a manual serial console step anyway, explain how to manually load the installer ramdisk and kernel in the manual. It's a bit more involved than loading an image through a web interface, but at least it will work.
2010-03-27partman now asks a slightly different (and less scary) confirmationColin Watson
question if it doesn't appear that any data is being overwritten. Document the associated preseeding changes.
2010-03-21Remove spurious quoting in network-console documentation, pointed out byColin Watson
Jonathan Amery.
2010-03-16Document the use of grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy toColin Watson
switch back to GRUB Legacy for those who need it.
2010-03-10Using D-I: add subsection intruducing supported partitioning optionsFrans Pop
It includes a list of supported file systems which is generally useful, but also more important now that reiserfs support is optional.
2010-02-24Drop requirement for TFTP server support of 'tsize' option for PXE bootingFrans Pop
As of Lenny syslinux no longer requires that the TFTP server supports the 'tsize' option (see #570273). With thanks to Ferenc Wagner.
2010-02-22Update information on setting up a TFTP serverFrans Pop
tftpd-hpa can be run using inetd, but also as an independent daemon. Mention that and remove some of the technical detail as it should be set up correctly by default when installing the package.
2010-02-22Move BOOTP server section after DHCP server sectionFrans Pop
2010-02-22Be consistent about setting the 'filename' option for TFTPFrans Pop
Make the examples relative to the TFTP root directory.

to the hostname; use 127.0.1.1, the same as the installer itself does.
2009-12-01Fix gramatical errorFrans Pop
2009-12-01Reword section on installer's support of wireless.Joey Hess
Be more specific about what is not supported (notably better enctyption than WEP), and link to firmware loading documentation. In particular avoid the "still under development", which has a typical end-user stigma of "can not possibly work".
2009-11-23UTC officially stands for "Coordinated Universal Time"Frans Pop

- Selecting a different country is now always possible at high priority. - Selection of a preferred locale if a combination of language and country was selected for which no locale exists. - Various other minor improvements.
