Images that will be built today will also include:
- a netboot flavour, providing either a small mini.iso with the udebs
fetch on the mirror, or files to boot the installer via PXE
- a cdrom flavour used by debian-cd to build full images (see #593629).
It still fails as it doesn't know how to mount a CD-ROM on GNU/kFreeBSD,
and as a few udebs still have to migrate to testing.
IMHO here are the remaning things that have to be done on
debian-installer before the release:
- fix the cdrom flavour by teaching cdrom-detect how to mount a CD-ROM
on GNU/kFreeBSD.
- provide a way to configure the keyboard. Either with a new udeb, or by
modifying console setup to work on kfreebsd. If we can use the xorg
keyboard maps on kfreebsd, we can also use a standard way to configure
the keyboard on the installed system.
- provide a way to parse preseeding options (using kenv) and provide
different options in the grub menu.
And optionally:
- add support for zfs
- better UTF-8 support, either by switching fonts or by porting bogl-bterm
- add an hd-media flavour
- add a xorg/gtk based flavour
