Thanks, just committed this: <dt>Network connectivity required during hd-media installs on several armel/armhf/arm64 platforms</dt> <dd>On several armel/armhf/arm64 platforms, hd-media based installs which: <ul> <li>use only the first CD/DVD and</li> <li>have not been configured to use a network mirror</li> </ul> fail in the <q>make the system bootable</q> step. The reason is that to make the system bootable, those platforms require the <code>u-boot-tools</code> package, which is not available on the first CD/DVD. If a network mirror has been configured during the installation, the missing package is downloaded automatically and the installation succeeds. <br /> <b>Status:</b> A bug fix for <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/780994">#780994</a> (which also affects Jessie RC 1) should be merged for Jessie RC 3. </dd> with the following comments on #debian-www: 23:24:04 [ KiBi] so, dl → dd → ul → li looks a bit bleh, but seems to be 4.01 Strict compliant 23:24:34 [ KiBi] feel free to adjust to your liking if you find a better way Also, same comment as in my previous mail: Feel free to adjust if needs be, by committing to the cvs repository, or by contacting debian-www people; I'll be offline for a few days shortly. Mraw, KiBi.
