On the Debian Wiki I just make this change:
| Diff for "DebianInstaller/EtchBeta3Prep"

| Differences between revisions 45 and 46
| Deletions are marked like this. Additions are marked like this.
| Line 17: Line 17:
| * Support installation without network. * Support ''CD-ROM only'' installation.
The same change as unified diff
