  * PowerPC fixes:
    - Update kernel version to 2.2.18pre21
    - Fix the miBoot command line options not to try to force atyfb
      (should fix color issues on some mach64 cards)
    - Create /dev/nvram on the root disk
    - Add nvsetenv and ofpath, as well as fixing the paths for yaboot
    - No longer include System.map on the HFS (powermac) boot floppy
      (there isn't enough room with the new kernels)

    - Bail out earlier in the boot floppy creation process if we can't do
      it on this architecture
    - Make CHRP rescue.bin be DOS formatted.  Perhaps the same thing
      needs done to PReP - can PReP even boot FAT images?
    - Populate /dev/input in the base tarball - adbmouse and friends no
      longer work with the new kernels.
  * Build with packages from proposed-updates:
    - ncurses 5.0-6.0potato1

      MAKEDEV doesn't know about; add gscd and cm206cd devices; remove

      descriptions follow

      NOTE: i18n integration is not quite complete, but it is very very
            close; it has specifically been kept out of the mainline
            version due to some bugs which are expected to be fixed shortly

      accordingly
    - Makefile: added conditional build time depends on libpng2-dev

    - utilities/bogl/Makefile: added bterm's font reduction to build process

    - dbootstrap/baseconfig: eliminate the annoying "touch" warning
    - dbootstrap/tzconfig: recommend to select tz using country/continent
    - dbootstrap/bootconfig: if we can't figure out 'device', prompt;
      fix some other stuff (closes: Bug#62546); if root fs is on a logical
      partition, and thus lilo is installed on an extended partition, we
      still need to install mbr on our boot sector (closes: Bug#62530)
    - dbootstrap/*: tweak strings and messages
    - scripts/rescue/rdev.sh: improvements (closes: Bug#59825)
    - documentation/README-authors: update for Potato
    - documentation/tech-info.sgml: improvements, rdev.sh is i386 only,
      marks some todo items, update required kernel features
      (closes: Bug#58836)
    - rescue(i386): reclaim a line at the top of the screen, we need it;
      add aic7xxx=no_probe comment in f6; refer to "disk devices" instead
      as "disk controllers"

      version; fix some obsolete references; update German documentation;
      add Austrian references
  * Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
    - include libdb2 in base on all architectures now
    - PowerPC base no longer needs libncurses4 or libreadlineg2
    - add psmisc to i386 and powerpc base, because pcmcia-cs depends
      on it
    - add yaboot and hfsutils to pmac rootdisk and powerpc base system
    - get yaboot/ybin from the new debian package, not the web
    - updated BootX and miBoot to the latest versions
    - do not update miBoot used for boot-floppy-hfs.img - the new
      version gives a 'Kernel not found!' error
    - bump up rootdisk size for powermac to 3800K uncompressed -
      now pushing the limits of a floppy
    - add mktemp to busybox for ybin
    - build with new yaboot package so that ybin works with busybox.
  * Yoshizumi Endo <y-endo@ceres.dti.ne.jp>: Japanese updates

boot-floppies (2.2.11) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
    - fdflush.c is_root_a_floppy.c lists.c nfsroot.c no_match.c:
      merged into util.c; these were all single function files, no need to
      have the spread around like that
    - compile warning cleanups
    - fixed logic for cdrom-install detection
    - rootdisk/rcS: perform the ramdisk mount for /tmp for anytime we are
      on a readonly root. TODO: make it so the cdrom's don't have to do
      anything special. Take care of it all here.
    - more changes to support read-only root fs; trying to move stuff from
      debian-cd to here
    - library reduction appears to work on sparc now (removed extraneous
      -lc from dbootstrap's LIBS and it fixed the problem)
    - dbootstrap/util.c: (getif_start)(getif)(getif_end): new functions
      that get the actual list of available interfaces, even allow for
      filtering to only the configured (up) interfaces. (is_network_up)
      returns number of active (up) interfaces. (is_interface_up) takes
      the name of an interface as an argument and returns true if the
      interface is active (up), 0 if not, and -1 if error (doesn't exist).
    - changed most calls from is_network_configured() to is_network_up() so
      that we get a real feel of if the network is actually running (as
      opposed to just having the config files laying around from a
      previous install attempt)
    - main_menu.c: in addition to checking is_network_configured() also
      check is_network_up() to make sure it is actually running
    - final updates to support read-only filesystems. TODO, make this the
      default setup, since it works both ways. Just with read-only, we
      need to mount a ramdisk on /tmp
    - syslogd.c: use realpath() instead of readlink()
    - dbootstrap: removed kernel_image_filename and drivers_filename, and
      simply use the #define's throughout (always the same value anyway)
    - dbootstrap/bootconfig.c: silo image requires the Arch2 extension
    - mount_any():make sure we create all directories up to the mountpoint
    - Allow the hostname to be configured by itself
    - scripts/rescue/install.sh: install config.gz if it exists to
      /boot/config-$version (the same as the kernel-image package would)
    - rescue.sh, kernel.sh, Makefile: create, install, and dep on config.gz
      for all archs. This creates a config.gz on the rescue floppy
      (stripped of blank lines and comments for compactness) so that it
      can then be installed on the base system.

    - dbootstrap: fix minor bug where bmap was called bmp in err msg
    - dbootstrap: start more verbose syslogging, i.e., when we mount and
      format stuff; consistency of message box titles; fix the "touch: too
      many levels of symbolic links" problem when configuring drivers
    - documentation/Makefile: fix deps for creating docs
    - README-Users: some updates, spell fixes, and clarifications

    - documentation/defaults.ent: turn on FIXME for now
  * Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
    - kbdconfig.c: fix keyboard maps for PowerMac

    - always download APUS kernel on powerpc
    - fix tarball organization on powerpc
    - fix a dbootstrap segfault on powerpc
    - tell dbootstrap that /vmlinux (as opposed to /vmlinuz) might be a
      successfully installed kernel
    - making the hard drive bootable has a long, long way to go - and newt
      is corrupting the display - but otherwise, installation on a powermac

  * Mark van Walraven <markv@wave.co.nz>

      local keyboard driver to get the job done.
    - writemaps/*: Updated to match console-tools to support the above change,

    - Make the release scripts have the proper ver_arch suffix in the name
      (Hi Dark!)
    - When installing docs for all langs, put "en" into DESTDIR, and all
      other docs get a subdir under DESTDIR

      + "Make the system bootable" now will install MILO or APB onto a DOS
        partition of your choice, initializing it if necessary.  Doesn't

    - dbootstrap:main.c: Fixed kernel_image_path for powerpc so that
      netfetch now works.
  * Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org>
    - basedisks.sh: don't set LANG=C in root/.bashrc (closes: Bug#59936)
    - dbootstrap:bootconfig.c:is_logical_part(): compare with 4, not
      '4' (closes: Bug#60218)
    - improved formatting in View Partitions
    - make choose_not_mounted display not only the partition's device
      name, but also the partition's type, using fdisk_sysname
    - libfdisk: renamed sysname() to fdisk_sysname(), updated all
      callers.
    - Nicer formatting in view partitions.
    - documentation (i386) updated to reflect recommendation to create a
      "/boot" partition.  Also tells about `mbr'/Lilo MBR and their
      support for BIOS Large Disk Access extensions; various other small
      edits, new URL's; update minimum RAM requirements (closes: Bug#60679)
    - Kernel symlinks moved back to "/" (closes: Bug#61229)
    - created an index.en.html for the <current>/doc directory that looks
      a little bit nicer than the default Apache generated directory.
    - NFS not offered by choose_medium() unless it is a supported
      filesystem type.  Also checks that there is a valid network interface.
    - Network not offered unless there's a valid network interface.
    - CD-ROM also not offered unless one is installed.
    - pcmcia modules are unloaded then reloaded when cardmgr is restarted
      after the network is configured so that hardware and drivers are
      fully initialized.  Apparently otherwise some laptops will
      misidentify certain cards after cardmgr is restarted.
  * Hartmut Koptein <koptein@debian.org>
    - tr language support from Andreas Mueller
  * Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
    - dbootstrap/netconfig.c: Fixed free(NULL)'s (closes: Bug#60371,
      Bug#60758)
    - Makefile: make sure to define BASE_TGZ for README-Users.m4
    - dbootstrap/rcS: added detection for CD boots. Allows it to be
      smarter about choosing some of the defaults and gives the user extra
      info along the way (basically reduces the amount of questions
      presented to the user, if they are doing a CD install). Also, on
      live CD fs's, we need to setup a ramdisk for /tmp.
    - Update sparc device lists for the root disk and base
    - When choosing an NFS server for kernel/driver install, and we have
      to load the nfs module, check the return value and fail if it does
      not exit cleanly when "modprobe nfs" is called
    - Added detection from dbootstrap for cdrom installs (e.g. we booted
      from a cdrom, let's just use that and not ask so many questions).
    - Removed all traces of sun4c rescue images. Change tftp images to
      single arch (sun4u and sun4cdm), put them in their respective
      directories. They still use tilo, but not doubled up.
    - Cleaned up tftpboot.sh a lot
    - Make it so that dbootstrap does not ask for the install method if we
      are a cdrom install and isverbose is not set. Also, if only one CD
      is detected, and it is a cdrom install, and isverbose is not set,
      just go with it and don't ask that either (BAM, two more questions
      gone :)

    etc., fixing many problems; remove old dselect methods: cdrom,
    harddisk, mounted; we retain floppy, apt, and nfs
  * ppc porting:
      - Add delays to be more friendly to the kernel's broken loop drivers
        during the build.
      - Update bootprep.sh for experimental kernel-patch packages, as
        there was no available kernel-patch anywhere.
      - Add extra build dependencies of powerpc.
  * todo: updated
  * rescue: checker script added to source area by Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS
    <edmundo@rano.org>; f5.txt consistency fix

  * scripts/rootdisk/strip_executables.sh renamed from strip_executables,
    some fixes
  * documentation: README-compact added, other updates
  * dbootstrap: mke2fs makes 2.0 kernel compatable filesystems by default
    -- this option can be changed when if using the 'verbose' flag; add a
    'flavor=' bootarg flag handling, and fix the rescue.bin and
    drivers.tgz setting function to use this if set; improve a few
    messages but many more still need more improvement; INFOMSG, ERRMSG,
    and DEBUGMSG were fixed so they actually work; improve the lilo
    configuration; remove dbootstrap's dependancies on busybox 
    (closes: Bug#27224, Bug#39617, Bug#31559, Bug#41901); prompt prior to

  * documentation: some updates -- documentation not completely Potato
    updated, however
  * alpha: porting updates, esp. changes to support Milo booting, fix
    library reduction on alpha (note that only alpha and i386 use library

  * basedisks.sh: populate /etc/fstab as liloconfig desires; set
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND to noninteractive for debconf-aware packages
  * boot: add pump (DHCP/BOOTP client) (closes: Bug#48088)
  * base: add pump (closes: Bug#34778), debconf-tiny, base-config
    (closes: Bug#56087); add libreadline4 and libncurses5, but don't remove
    libreadlineg2 nor libncurses4 until all the pkgs in base are rebuilt with
    new libs (closes: Bug#54643, Bug#55400). Also, uses base-config to
    configure the system after initial reboot, and removed all the old cruft
    that used to do that.
  * 'make mirror': improved to dyamically read package list from rootdisk
    and base, and to only get the correct kernel
  * dbootstrap: archive location was incorrect, added debian/ prefix;
    replace 'expert' boot flag with 'verbose' and 'quiet' flags; make sure
    /proc is mounted before starting; gettext and message massage the new
    code; 'netfetch' takes over network install method; write network
    configuration to /etc/network/interfaces not /etc/init.d/network,
    using new ifup and ifdown commands; allow new "boot-only" special
    rescue disks which need standard rescue/root disks (used by sun4c);
    experimental 'init-chroot' added, which has init chroot into the
    target dir, obviating the need to reboot after base install;
    <target>/root/dbootstrap_settings now the place for settings which
    post-dbootstrap configuration is to pick up; fix empty 'boot=' line in
    lilo.conf and other lilo.conf issues (closes: Bug#53807, Bug#25842);
    detect present network interfaces during network configuration, this
    also supports Arcnet (closes: Bug#18407, Bug#56197); decouple from
    busybox completely; move more functions to util.c; remove old tecra
    stuff; cosmetics and word wrap problems fixed (closes: Bug#55542)
  * i386: new 'compact' flavor with only one driver disk, old cruft such
    as FPU emulation, MCA, etc removed, and some PCI ethernet devices;
    file and bugs or wish items in that against
    kernel-image-2.2.14-compact; use kernel 2.2.14 for vanilla flavor
  * m68k: use glibc 2.1
  * powerpc: better support for apus
  * alpha: some porting work done (probably not complete)
  * sparc: port (in libfdisk especially); remove 'noultra' TILO image;

    Japanese version; add /etc/protocols
  * libfdisk: cope with partition names such as /dev/rd/c0d0p0
    (closes: Bug#55701)
  * utilities/tasksel: removed into its own separate CVS module
  * i18n: translation updates; add in new language choose system

boot-floppies (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * fdisk: using the 2.2 features of the /proc file-system, we should be
    able to detect any and all kernel-supported r/w random-access devices
  * dbootstrap: installation via HTTP method (net-fetch) added; messages
    not yet tuned, this method should work fine but might not look pretty
    yet
  * dbootstrap: look for files and stuff in
    dists/potato/main/disks-%s/current where %s is the architecture name
  * busybox: more updates, fixing some critical problems in tar (setuid
    not respected, files with symlinks to them (i.e. libc) set to 777), 
    cp, and mv didn't work for directories; fix problem where symlink
    targets were made world-writable (!)
  * dbootstrap: when writing /etc/fstab, use tabs (closes: Bug#11926,
    Bug#36657)
  * dbootstrap: add commented out /dev/pts example to /etc/fstab 
    (closes: Bug#33950)
  * dbootstrap: don't ask about GMT or not on m68k; when we *do* ask about
    it, do it in one dialog box, not two; look for UTC not GMT in
    /etc/default/rcS (closes: Bug#48866)
  * base: remove setserial from sparc platform
  * base: add xviddetect, and pciutils -- these are not yet integrated,
    however; debconf-tiny integration put off due to critical
    perl-5.005-base bugs
  * rescue: rdev.sh handles an alternate kernel location as an optional
    argument (closes: Bug#27650)
  * dbootstrap: ask when mke2fs'ing whether to use 2.2 specific features
    (closes: Bug#47490)
  * dbootstrap: change the wording of the name server selection
    (closes: Bug#23337); many other wording changes
  * dbootstrap: don't put `vga=normal' in the default lilo.conf since it
    apparently breaks MDA graphics cards (closes: Bug#35873)
  * top-level Makefile: check for dependancies by examining
    /var/lib/dpkg/status instead of running `dpkg --get-selections' since
    the latter only shows whether a package is *selected* for installation
    (closes: Bug#52596)
  * scripts/basedisks/new_root_home/.bash_profile: trap `:' instead of `""'
    so that children don't ignore the signals (closes: Bug#21867)
  * dbootstrap: be more specific when prompting for floppies
    (closes: Bug#48779)
  * debian/rules: scrub /usr/src/boot-floppies.tar.gz more, removing wierd
    ownership and permissions

boot-floppies (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * busybox: updated to 0.40; fix logger; remove free (use lazybox free
    instead, which is better)
  * dbootstrap: 'expert' boot argument skips some annoying confirmation
    dialog boxes; fix kbdconfig dialog being too big; fix the 'list'
    archive selection method for installing kernel; more debugging and
    informative messages piped to syslog; on i386, install mbr using
    /sbin/install-mbr; for m68k, fix keyboards; when doing 'list' method
    of disk or mounted archive location selection, just do it if we only
    have one possibility
  * root: add lazybox 'man' command, reminding users to install man-db pkg
  * debian/copyright: remove old FSF address; add/re-organize busybox,
    lowmemrd, dbootstrap copyright information (lintian)
  * debian/control: standards version 3.1.1; depend on gcc, file; change
    priority to extra
  * debian/rules: debhelperify; binary package contains the tarball
    /usr/src/boot-floppies.tar.gz, rather than the unpacked files in
    /usr/src/boot-floppies/
  * i18n: Hungarian, Russian, French, Portuguese updates
  * powerpc: add amiga-fdisk to base and root
  * close bugs from last release (closes: Bug#52073, Bug#41193, Bug#30959)
  * we split root/boot now, maybe we'll do initrd or some such for woody,
    but lets close this bug (closes: Bug#40160)
  * README clarifications (closes: Bug#41189)

boot-floppies (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * this version of boot-floppies is not yet feature complete for potato.
    We still need a lot of help in making dbootstrap better.  Other things
    which are still dreadfully wrong:
      - task package selection not yet integrated
      - xviddetect/anXious not yet integrated
      - apt configurator not yet integrated
      - unified i18n/l10n language/charset not yet fully implemented
      - perl-base still has lots of problems
      - modconf still has tons of problems
    Please volunteer on debian-boot@lists.debian.org or notify/pester/NMU
    the appropriate packages
  * busybox: update to 0.39 from Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>;
    enable lots of new commands in busybox, which saves space on root.bin;
    new commands: syslogd, logger, ping, tail
  * overall aesthetics, cleanup, and maintainability fixes; fix numerous
    problems relating to compatability with the new busybox
  * base: add fbset, move all arches to libpopt0 and libnewt; remove
    bloat pkgs such as libstdc++2.9 and perl-5.005; new pcmcia 
    (closes: Bug#52692)
  * rescue: add sed (from 'sed' package); add lazybox 'free'; remove
    fgrep; stop having vi pose as ae, but instead it emit a message; fix
    bad errors in rescue/modules install.sh scripts (closes: Bug#49517);
    update f*.txt messages for i386, boot arguments documentation in
    particular expanded and updated; fix "restart dbootstrap" by looping
    in /etc/init.d/rcS
  * dbootstrap: added hostname sanity check to netconfig.c (closes:
    Bug#37045); use syslog for logging of all cmd output, which stops
    stuff from getting scribbled on the screen (closes: Bug#32581);
    preliminary support for install base via http
  * root: re-enable library reduction on alpha; provide usr/bin/eject from
    eject package on m68k (closes: Bug#52304)
  * documentation: fix to work with new debiandoc-sgml (currently at
    1.1.36); top-level README for developers mentions you need a head to
    build (closes: Bug#49524); new base size is (at least) 45MB (maybe more)
  * new top level command, 'make mirror' to make a mirror of the
    packages needed to build base; 'make check' improved
  * top-level Makefile: 'make check' now includes $(local_dir) in its
    attempts to populate updates/, checks zlib-bin in i386 check deps; use
    zlib-bin's miniunzip rather than the non-free unzip
  * control: depend on libi18n-langtags-perl, flex; remove depends on
    slice and suggests on unzip
  * remove dpkg-multicd, gettext, perl-5.005, libstdc++2.9, libdb2 from
    base (closes: Bug#48872)
  * rethink file naming:
         .../disks-<arch>/[subarch/][alt-kernel/]disks-<size>/
    Common files should appear on the top-most level at which they are
    common.  This is a deeper directory structure but it will enable us to
    have consistency across architectures and be easier for users to
    understand.  For i386 1440k rescue disk, this is now
    'disks-1.44/rescue.bin', which has the benefit of being ok for a FAT
    filesystem (closes: Bug#43057) -- NOTE: this new system introduces
    file naming issues for file searching in dbootstrap which are not yet
    implemented on all platforms -- YMMV
  * add top-level release/README file describing the new file layout, etc.
  * i386: support for dac960 controller on root disk and base disks;
    switch to 2.2.13 kernel (closes: Bug#52106)
  * i18n: portuguese keyboard support added (closes: Bug#49976);
    pt.po fixed (closes: Bug#47633); Hungarian (hu) translation added;
    Esperanto (eo) updated
  * i18n: groundwork for conherent/consistent i18n/l10n handling, see
    utilities/language-chooser for info (this is not yet part of the
    built boot-floppies)
  * more bug closing of things fixed with kernel 2.2.x 
    (closes: Bug#43058, Bug#25274)

  * major updates for potato:
    - potato updates for dependancies, etc. (closes: Bug#41866,
      Bug#44800, Bug#45362)
    - powerpc support
    - root and boot disks split for most architectures
    - new driver installation setup, driver disks split like base disks
    - kernel 2.2.x based, fixing numerous problems with the old kernels,
      and with tecra disks, which are no longer necessary
      (closes: Bug#36875, Bug#34949, Bug#39961, Bug#41456, Bug#37892)
    - selections mechanism is gone in favor of metapackages 
      (closes: Bug#33837, Bug#41408)
    - many i386 booting problems fixed in new upstream syslinux
      (closes: Bug#47101 et al)
  * maintainer for this software changed to debian-boot@lists.debian.org;
    it really is a joint effort
  * added pointerize i18n tools, moving our i18n system to gettext
  * Added support for nfs media type always being selectable.  When selected,
    the user is prompted to configure the network.
  * Removed some obsolete partition to filesystem mappings from libfdisk.
  * Fixed busybox halt routine to not call it's bdflush routine.  This 
    causes halt/reboot hangs on 2.2.11+ with kupdate
  * Modified prototype init_tab to spawn a shell and the final install
    script directly.  New login package broke passwordless access.
  * Fixed basedisks.sh problem with creating .../etc/network/spoof-protect.
  * Updates for serial console handling with new kbd and setserial
    packages.  Also identification of a serial console system to the
    final installation so keymapping is not attempted.
  * Disabled broken powerpc, sparc library reduction.
  * Fixed disksize boot-parameter default setting for systems that
    don't have it passed from the loader.
  * Moved powerpc to kernel 2.2.12, increased rescue disk size.  Haven't
    split rescue to boot/root yet.                                              
  * graphical dbootstrap option for framebuffer capable systems
  * debian/control: un-version the versioned dependancy on lynx, allowing
    lynx-ssl to work also (closes: Bug#38839); standards version 3.0.1.1
  * debian/rules: move to FHS
  * all arches use ext2 filesystems (no minix anymore)
  * Better serial console support, now autodetects if on serial and skips
    kbd config, etc. 
  * Fixed powerpc subarch detection to properly detect PReP and reduced to
    only use sed.
  * Error in checking of base system installation fixed, dbootstrap:
    main_menu.c, and extract_base.c. (closes: Bug#36947, Bug#38007)
  * Introduction of disksize boot-parameter, dbootstrap: main.com, and
    dbootstrap.h (closes: Bug#35729)
  * Rewritten tftpboot.sh to support many image formats (TFTP, TILO now).
  * Rewritten alternate kernel rules in top Makefile (should work for sparc &
    i386 arch at least).
  * Don't ask for setting hardware clock to local time on sparc arch (assume
    always GMT).  Other archs could undef LOCALTIME in dbootstrap.h to do so.
  * All dialog boxes are now centered on screen.
  * documentation: add powerpc

boot-floppies (2.1.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changes made by Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org> to provide proper
    German disk images.  Details follow:
    - Added support for a creator != maintainer, main Makefile and
      rootdisk.sh
    - Added detection for modules in main makefile since both minix
      support and loopback support is sufficient when provided as modules
      and kerneld/kmod
    - Extracted MSG_BOOT_MESSAGE_TEXT from all lang_<lang>.h files into a
      boot_message file.  This file will be converted by rootdisk.sh to
      use the proper charset which was required since it is displayed
      before Linux is loaded and thus the IBMPC charset is used on intel
      boxes.
    - Added support for boot_message to rootdisk.sh.  The routine for
      recoding the file was stolen from rescue.sh, well, the skeleton and
      ideas were.
    - Heavily updated de.po for root_profile, changed formattings, changed
      from "Du" to "Sie" which is more kind.
    - .bash_profile: Unset LANG before dselect is called to avoid Perl
      complain about locale.  This is a workaround and needs a proper fix
      for Perl!!!
    - Updated boot messages for SYSLINUX, changed formattings, changed
      from "Du" to "Sie" which is more kind.
    - Updated release_notes, changed formattings, changed from "Du" to
      "Sie".
    - kbdconfig.c: Turned all keyboard descriptions into defines in order
      to fit with our scheme of i18n.
    - Extended lang_C.h and lang_de.h to contain these descriptions.
    - partition_config.c: Added support for LINGUA/LANG when issuing
      `cfdisk'.  Same goes for `mkfs'.  Also added proper _test target so
      we can test this dialog locally as well.
    - Added new address and notice to README-Translators.
  * Updated and corrected English, German, Japanese and Russian 
    documentation (closes: Bug#38442, Bug#42124)
  * skip configuring the keyboard on serial console installation.
  * fixed a problem with non bootable floppy images on ultrasparc (new
    silo1440k-sun4u image required to build).  Compiled with silo 0.8.6-1 to
    fix a bug in booting SunOS on ultrasparc.

boot-floppies (2.1.8) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * /dev/console is a symlink (for i386, kernel 2.0.36). 
    Closes #33448, #33428.
  * Typo in the main Makefile when building for the czech
    language. Closes #33283.
  * Built with a fixed dpkg-multicd. Closes #33276.
  * Uses kernel with Adaptec driver v5.1.11. Closes #32444.
  * changes which were made in 2.1.7 but not logged as such:
    documentation: many SPARC-related bits of documentation, include tftp
     boot documentation; document tecra boot-floppies and XT device names
     for i386; typos and grammar fixes
    documentation/README-authors: add list for people working on
     translations, please update this if it is out of date
    PCMCIA fix when copying resolv.conf
    Updated french messages
  * generic alternate kernels support (see MULTI_KERNELS option in main.c)
    used to boot 2.2.1 as well as 2.0.35 on sparc and tecra on i386
  * kernel 2.2.1 support: use /dev/console for all types of display (instead
    of tty1 or ttyS0), deal with /dev/tty not available on console, new broken
    loop device detection method, disable stderrToTTY
  * disable all but the first terminal if booting on serial console
    (especially logging to tty3 & running a shell in tty2), 
  * sparc fixes: use termio not termios (the latter is broken on sparc
    kernels), don't overwrite bin/sed & usr/bin/whiptail if already done by
    a previous installation (in case of a persistent nfsroot filesystem),
    manually add /dev/cua[01] for serial console boot (not provided by
    makedev anymore),
  * ultrasparc support by the mean of ultralinux 2.2.1 kernel:
    builds {resc,drv}1440-2.2.1-sun4u and a new universal tftpboot-2.2.1.img
    based on TILO to boot both sun4[cdm] & sun4u sparcs with the same image.
  * master2files/master: updates, SPARC fixes, tested for all platforms,
    asclock removed. Closes #33430.
  * documentation: on x86, document partitioning and DOS interactions;
    typos and gramatical corrections

boot-floppies (2.1.6) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * Moved whiptail to the drivers disk.
  * Removed superformat form the root disk. dbootstrap uses the one on
    the base system instead.
  * Lots of patches for m68k support by Michael Schmitz.
  * Built using the new util-linux package, to include cfdisk support for
    Extended-WIN95 partitions (Closes #32269, important).
  * If the user skips the "Configure Keyboard" step don't tell him about
    missing /tmp/kbdconf.
  * Fix typo in root's bash_profile that breaks "[Y/n]" default answers.
    (Closes #32324, #32508)
  * debian/control: add dependancies man-db, libpaperg, tetex-bin,
    tetex-extra -- these are for the documentation area (PDF, mostly)
  * documentation: new sections "Organization of This Document", "If You
    Are New to Unix", "Interpreting the Kernel Startup Messages"; heavy
    rework on newly broken out chapter, "Booting the Installation System",
    including new section "Booting from CD-ROM", "Troubleshooting the Boot
    Process";  much more m68k content, including most of Frank's Amiga
    install document (Atari and Mac still quite rough); updates and
    corrections, including conditionalization of Bootable CDs and TFTP by
    platform; advise against running rawrite2.exe from within a DOS box in
    Windows or from Windows Explorer (closes Bug#25975)
    - dselect-beginner.html: added descriptions for acquisition methods,
    mention http_proxy and ftp_proxy env vars (closes Bug#32232)

boot-floppies (2.1.5) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * Added Esperanto localization done by Edmund Grimley Evans.
  * busybox/chown.c: Use my own kludge for getpwnam, getpwuid, getgrnam
    and getgrgid. That removes the dependency on libc6 NSS (and 'foo: no
    such user' errors when the rootdisk doesn't contain libnss files &
    compat libraries).
  * dinstall/boxes.c: Print 24 blank lines right before erasing the
    screen. That way, the user may see the boot messages using
    Shift-PgUp. (Closes #22474).
  * Fixed "stat" bug on busybox's cp and mv. (Patch by Akira Yoshiyama).
  * Added Slovak localization done by Miroslav Vasko.
  * removed dependency on sysutils. It was there for "todos", but we now
    use "recode".
  * main Makefile: Added check for minix and exit properly on check for
    loop. (Closes #31688).
  * Added patch by Matej Vela for using Latin-2 charset on the
    rescue disk where needed.
  * Default to other host being DNS server. (Closes #27062, #31432)
  * Building "tecra" disks again, as it seems 2.0.36 still doesn't work
    on many of them... (*may* close #31618, #31903, #31367)
  * Added ISDN devices to the base system. (Closes #28220)
  * unconfigured.sh uses echo, instead of a heredoc. (Closes #26510)
  * Accept a black value as transceiver type, for cards that don't
    support transceiver selection. (Closes #25377)
  * While installing kernel and modules, move /target/sbin/cardmgr to
    /sbin/cardmgr to avoid overwriting it while extracting base. 
    (Closes #31099, #31348)
  * start renaming "dinstall" to "dbootstrap".
  * dinstall/partition_config.c: offer to run "cfdisk -z" if "cfdisk"
    failed (Closes #29153).
  * debian/control: now depends on make and gettext (undeclared before),
    suggests for documentation building promoted to depends
    (Closes #31888) 
  * documentation: major updates
    - moved from linuxdoc to debiandoc, split HTML files up by chapter
    - dynamically use gettext messages where feasible, translating CPP
    defines to SGML entities
    - dynamic use of other build variables, such as architecture, kernel
    version, etc.
    - conditionally build different 'flavors' of documents based on the
    current build architecture -- see documentation/Makefile for more
    information on building architecture-specific documentation
    - Section "Welcome to Debian" added, "About Copyrights..." moved into
    this section
    - Section "System Requirements" significant updates -- all information
    regarding supported hardware moved here; do not pretend to list all
    suppported hardware, but rather specifically Linux-supported hardware
    *not* supported by the boot disks
    - Section "Before You Start" significant changes -- all information
    regarding hardware configuration or planning put here
    - Section "Methods for Installing Debian" sigificant changes -- update
    and isolate/document platform-specific installation methods and files
    - Section "Booting the Installation System" broken out from other
    section
    - integrate most of the separate Amiga installation info including
    partitioning with HDToolBox, more platforms on the way
    - Section "Disk Naming in Linux", "Boot Parameter Arguments",
    "Booting from CD-ROM", "Troubleshooting the Boot Process",
    "Interpreting the Kernel Startup Messages", "Troubleshooting
    the Boot Process", "Partitioning Prior to Installation",
    others not mentioned -- new sections
  * documentation: suggest 'hard boot' rather than soft (closes
    Bug#13268), update all disk names to reflect current status (closes
    Bug#31139), copyright updated
  * documentation/dselect-beginner.sgml: debiandoc'd version of the
    what was formerly deselect.beginner.8.html.in, updated for slink

 -- Enrique Zanardi <ezanard@debian.org>  Sat, 09 Jan 1999 18:02:15 +0000

boot-floppies (2.1.4) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * Use modconf 0.2.23 (fixes the "modconf hangs while detecting modules"
    bug, and the "unable to remove pcmcia-cs on a fresh install" bug.).
  * Supports FAT32 partitions.
  * master2files/master: libc6-doc has been renamed to glibc-doc, dome
    depends on libg++2.8.2.
  * Fixed the "wrong keymap after rebooting" bug.
  * Used kernel-image-2.0.36, that means we don't need "tecra" disks.

 -- Enrique Zanardi <ezanard@debian.org>  Tue, 15 Dec 1998 13:14:32 +0000

boot-floppies (2.1.2) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * Updated kbdconfig.c to use new kbd-data directories. The install
    system will create /etc/kbd/default.map.gz just after the first
    reboot.
  * modconf uses sed, so I have to put it on modconf.tgz, on the
    drivers disk. Also I have to take it into account when stripping
    down libc.
  * Don't include pcmcia.tgz on 1200MB floppies. As modconf.tgz is bigger 
    now, pcmcia.tgz doesn't fit.
  * README-tecra: "Stolen" README-tecra from Manoj's kernel-package. It
    has a detailed description of the problem and the solutions.
  * Added a patch to busybox's tar, to create the missing directories
    while extracting files. That fixes the drv1440.bin installation
    problem.
  * Fixed maintainer address.

    the new maintainer for the install manual.
  * utilities/dinstall/boxes.c: Added menuBox, scaleBox and varios
    wrappers around newt. No dinstall/*.c file should use newt directly.

    debugging dinstall, and taking "snapshots" of the various dialog
    boxes.

  * Removed /bin/sed from the root disk image. Use the base system one
    instead.
  * Update patches for alpha by Loic Prylli <lprylli@debian.org>

    German.  This was done by Philipp Stratmann
    <philipp.stratmann@student.uni-tuebingen.de> and Martin Schulze
    <joey@debian.org> with proof reading by  Joerg Friedrich
    <Joerg.Dieter.Friedrich@uni-konstanz.de> and Joey.
  * Added croatian (hrvatska) translation made by Matej Vela
    <mvela@public.srce.hr>
  * Added missing de.po, translated by Joey

boot-floppies (2.0.5) frozen unstable; urgency=high

  * base system: added pppconfig and pkgsel
  * base system: the shipped "availables" file only contains information

    diskettes back to 5 1.44MB ones or 6 1.2MB ones. 
  * base system: removed comerr2g, e2fslibsg and ss2g, provided by the

boot-floppies (2.0.4) frozen unstable; urgency=high

  * Makefile: Build rescue disk for Tecras
  * basedisks.sh: Add DirHandle.pm to the base system (it should be in

  * rootdisk.sh: Copy mount and umount to the rootdisk.
  * rootdisk.sh: Copy the resolver and DNS libraries to the rootdisk.
  * release_notes: Use the maintainer field from the changelog instead of the
    user id.

    ae & cfdisk failures.
  * busybox/loadkmap.c: Fixes revisited. Now it reads properly the
    whole keymap.
  * dinstall/block_device.c and choose_medium.c: Fill the stat field in 
    the Fileinfo structs before calling descend().
  * dinstall/extract*.c  Free Archive_Dir after extracting. Should fix the 
    "Restarting-After-Installing-Base" and "Restarting-When-Choosing-List"
    Bugs.
  * dinstall/choose_medium.c: Show a "Please Wait" message while building
    the list of files that can be used to install the base system (or the
    kernel), because this process can be slow, as the program descends
    recursively through the filesystem we have choosen to install from.
  * dinstall/main_menu.c: Removed the letters from the menu. Too many
    people thought they were "accelerators" and complained because they
    didn't work.
  * pkgsel is not included yet, sorry. It will be in the next version.
  * Disabled lowmem rootdisk creation, as the disk was unusable. We need
    to remove more programs to make it fit in a 1200 blocks floppy image.
