Re: Change templates: CD -> installation medium - proposal #2
[Adding debian-l10n-english to the loop]
Hi,
I would like to change the term "CD" into "installation medium" in the
debian-installer.
These days our CD/DVD images can also be used for USB sticks, and virtual machines
are also quite common, so messages like "Loading components from CD" no longer fit.
I have prepared a proposal (attached) and would welcome a review of the
English language side.
Thanks
Holger
