Hello -boot people, (Cc debian-doc for information) I don't know if there will be a d-i Stretch RC 3, but I would like to complete the "installing" chapter of the release notes. I have already done some easy update [1]: * ports: mips64el added and none removed * i586 bumped to i686 * Graphical installer by default in supported arches * No new languages I have seen some important news: * multiarch default is now amd64 * ifname instead of mac address * Full CD sets were removed * Almost all alternative options for CD#1 were removed, since the installer gives en easy choice of desktop selection during task selection, since Jessie. Only Xfce CD#1 remains as a single-CD desktop system. * Produce two beeps when booted with grub instead of one, so the user knows he has to use the grub way to edit entries. * Install MATE desktop by default when brltty or espeakup is used in d-i. * Add HTTPS support Please comment if I forgot something you think is important, or if I add something that is not. Also, I'd like to know if the sentence about UEFI: "Note that this does not include support for UEFI Secure Boot." is still valid. I intend to send the attached patch in the ddp svn next week-end if nobody complains. Thanks for your feedback.
