From 9ed71b96e35fea4a6113c0f0f42bdfdb86cea198 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 15:14:51 +0000
Subject: * Booting a USB stick via a boot floppy is not supported by current  
 installer images. * Update preseeding docs to use task names, not short
 descriptions, since   that will work now and is more convenient for
 preseeding. * Document the kde-desktop and gnome-desktop subtasks.
