installation-guide (20080520ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
* 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.
* Bump release version and names for Intrepid.

[ Frans Pop ]
* Clarify console switching for the graphical installer.
Thanks to Tim Richardson for the suggestion.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Spell "multiselect" correctly in apt-setup/services-select preseeding
example.
* Note that an empty preseed file is equivalent to a normal manual
installation (thanks, Nathan Sutton).
[ Robert Millan ]
* Document how to start the installer from Windows.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Document installation using multiple CD/DVDs; update text about using a
mirror in line with that.
* Lenny will be version 5.0.
* Warn about boot issues when using RAID on the root file system.
* Update task selection section for changes in desktop task preseeding.
* Fix double / in links, spotted by Stanislav Gromov. Closes: #472813.
* Document new boot parameters to define mouse protocol and device (port)
for the graphical installer.
* Correct command to use to allow preseeding of netcfg when using a
preconfiguration file downloaded from a server (preseed/url).
Thanks to Durk Strooisma for the report and analysis. Closes: #476524.

* Document preseeding of grub password.
* Update how to suppress the removal of existing LVM data using preseeding.
* Update version of X11 used in Lenny.
* Update kernel versions.
* Update memory requirements for i386 and amd64. Elaborate on installing
systems with less memory than the listed minimum.
* Update known issues for graphical installer: entropy gathering for
encrypted partitioning is now supported; localechooser now has nice
columns but other components still need to be done.
* Document finish-install/keep-consoles boot parameter and preseeding.
* Define two new translatable entities: escapekey and tabkey.
* Update task sizes, and number of packages and developers.
* x86: update description of the boot screen for the new syslinux vesamenu.
