Hi Martin, I'm working on the post-sarge updates to the release notes, including the one you submitted below.

The DHCP > problems have been addressed in this version. I'm not really sure if the link you provide here should be used in the release notes. The link refers to a file that will be rebuilt over time as new releases of d-i are done. This could result in unexpected changes or broken instances of the file. IMO it would be better to copy the current version of the file somewhere else and keep that static for the lifetime of Sarge. Please let me know if my concerns are correct and, if so, a different URL for the file. Cheers, FJP
