Document GRUB password preseeding (LP: #42019).

21. By Colin Watson on 2008-03-31

* Document mirror/udeb/components (LP: #191262).
* Document apt-setup/security_path (LP: #51470).
* Document console-setup/modelcode=SKIP (LP: #59889).

20. By Colin Watson on 2008-02-29

Document new simplified partman preseeding (LP: #181296).

19. By Colin Watson on 2008-02-25

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Build only English (for now, until we figure out how to avoid trashing
    translations quite so badly with Ubuntu branding etc.).
  - Build only Ubuntu architectures (amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc,
    sparc).
  - Extensive (although possibly incomplete) Ubuntu branding, adjustments
    for our mirror layout, etc.
  - Add "Ubuntu and Debian" and "What is Ubuntu?" section, text borrowed
    from the Ubuntu web site. Disable the "What is Debian GNU/Linux?"
    section.
  - Direct installation reports to ubuntu-users for now.
  - Adjust various memory and disk space requirements. Talk about the
    default Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu tasks rather than Debian tasks.
  - Document mounting /sys in various places.
  - Unset supports-floppy-boot for all our architectures.
  - Add a few more supports-floppy-boot and bootable-usb conditionals.
  - Document our root password and sudo arrangements.
  - Document netboot-style USB images. Still mention the hd-media images,
    but they're downplayed since many USB sticks are too small for a full
    Ubuntu ISO image.
  - Document Kickstart installations (currently only the basics, a
    reference to Red Hat's documentation, and the differences from
    Anaconda).
  - Note that an empty preseed file is equivalent to a normal manual
    installation.
  - Update keyboard preseeding documentation for console-setup.
  - Update chroot-install guide for console-setup and language packs; add
    a bit more advice about installing grub.
  - Disable documentation of the GTK frontend.
* Bump kernelversion to 2.6.24.
* Bump GNOME version to 2.22.
* Bump release version and names for Hardy.

* Set Vcs-Bzr for Ubuntu.
* Document use of apt-install in Kickstart, and the fact that it only
  works with %post --nochroot (thanks, Ryan Lovett).
* Document pkgsel/language-packs (LP: #145665).

17. By Colin Watson on 2007-08-30

Correct URLs pointing to example-preseed.txt (LP: #135502).

    Architecture: all now (backported from trunk).
  - Reconfigure console-setup, not console-data.
  - Point to language packs rather than suggesting reconfiguring locales.
  - Add a bit more advice about installing grub.
  - Fix tasksel instructions.
