* Don't recommend passing http://
archive. ubuntu. com/ubuntu to debootstrap;
it can figure out a good default for itself, and that URL is wrong for
ports architectures (see
https://answers. launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ debian- installer/ +question/ 38180).
* Document partman/early_command.
* Build installation-guide-lpia package. - 23. By Colin Watson
-
* Drop bogus "/ubuntu" from URL to example-preseed on help.ubuntu.com.
* 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).
- 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.
- Disable documentation of win32-loader.
- Document new simplified partman preseeding.
- Document mirror/udeb/components .
- Document apt-setup/security_ path.
* Bump kernelversion to 2.6.26 (main architectures) and 2.6.25 (ports).
* Bump GNOME version to 2.24.
