Package: installation-guide
Version: 20180930
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi
recently I was learning about presseding UEFI installs and
I think the install guide could use a small addition to make
that journey easier. I also sent a patch to partman-auto-recipe.txt
but I am sure the readership of that is much less than the d-i manual.
Kind regards
Vince

[ Holger Wansing ]
* Show a build version within the manual, parsed from debian/changelog.
* Also add the '#_preseed_V1' header, when building the example-preseed.txt
for the website, as it is already in the binary packages.
* Fix gawk warnings about invalid regexp escapes with latest gawk version.
Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the hint.
* Correct filename syntax for PDF and TXT formats, when building for the
website, to get valid filename suffixes.
* Update view of boot screen (add dark theme installer menu).
* Update copyright year to 2020.
* Drop mips from built archs.
* Remove docs on no-longer-existing 'print-server' task.
* Update manual regarding the latest bootloader changings (removal of lilo +
globally changing the term "Installing GRUB on a harddisk" into
"Installing GRUB on the primary drive").
* Also mention Windows 10 fast-startup feature in-line with fast-boot from
Windows 8. Closes: #939862
* Move advise for downloading netboot/hd-media files from chapter 5.1.5. to
4.4.1. where it belongs. And convert filenames into clickable links.
Closes: #284760, #322694.
* Add condition 'manual-usb-prep-supported' to display chapters for manual
USB stick preparation in amd64 and i386 only (chapter was also active
for arm64 before, but needs an overhaul first, to be useful).
* Rephrase sentence about preparing USB storage devices (using GNU/Linux
systems is recommended, but not strictly required). Closes: #837073
* Add a chapter to illustrate examples of boot prompt lines with preseeding
options (an idea of Richard Owlett, thanks).
* Add preseeding information about EFI partitions. Closes: #924290.
