Package: debian-cd

(Not sure which version is actually used for squeeze.)

On i386 machines with RAM above the 4GB physical address, either PAE or
LM (Long Mode, 64-bit) must be used to access that RAM.  The preferred
kernel flavour is '686-bigmem', with 'amd64' also being an option.

However the amd64 flavour is on DVD 1 but the 686-bigmem flavour is on
DVD 2.  This means a single-DVD install with no network access will get
the amd64 flavour if the system supports LM and the 686 flavour if it
does not.  The former is somewhat undesirable as third-party installers
(and users) can get confused by a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland.
The latter is extremely undesirable as some RAM is then inaccessible.

Similarly the amd64 flavour is currently on CD 5 but the 686-bigmem
flavour is on CD 10.  The 686-bigmem flavour should be increased in
priority, certainly above the amd64 flavour, and should ideally be on CD
1 or 2 (but I realise that there is tough competition for CD 1).

Ben.

Changes: 
 debian-cd (3.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Ben Hutchings ]
   * In the boot prompt for powerpc, make install64 more prominent.
     Closes: #614583
 .
   [ Steve McIntyre ]
   * Merge update-cd changes back from the squeeze branch:
     + Remove the old non-US stuff from it, it's not been needed in years.
     + Cope with .bz2 source files too.
     + Merged and simplified the old functionality from scansources.old
       and scanpackages.old into the new script create_control.
     + Run the mkisofs step *outside* of "set -e" so that we can actually
       report errors instead of silently failing.
     + Split out the code for starting a new disc into a function.
     + Pick up on a potential bug: if we finish the last (expected) disc with
       a backed-out file, make sure we create another image to include that
       file too.
   * Update make_disc_trees.pl and which_deb to cope with different
     types of source file, and clean up the code in that area.
   * tools/make_image: generate list files while we have the CD trees
     available
   * update the URL for downloading s390 d-i dailies.
   * Add linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem to tasks/<release>/interesting-fromcd23
     to try and put that on i386 image sets before linux-image-amd64.
     Closes: #622622
   * update the URL for downloading i386 d-i dailies.
   * update the URL for downloading armel d-i dailies.
   * tools/grab_md5:
     + Improve Packages and Sources file parsing;
     + Cope with differently-formed files that are still valid
       (don't assume field ordering).
     + Switch from awk to perl makes things much faster too!
     + Make arch handling more generic - instead of having to list all
       arches, allow a wildcard and then check for lack of Packages.gz files
   * tools/make-firmware-image: Rather than use the firmware task which
     gets out of date, look for firmware/microcode files directly in the
     Packages file. Check for things installing in /lib/firmware, and add
     those packages.
   * Remove the checked-in firmware task altogether, as it's not
     useful. Generate it when needed using the new script
     tools/generate_firmware_task.
   * Add apt-offline to tasks/wheezy/forcd1 to bring it onto CD#1.
     Closes: #630805
   * Add links to snapshot.debian.org into jigdo files.
 .
   [ Aurelien Jarno ]
   * Add support for hurd-i386. Closes: #619211
