What do we want to talk about in more details ? From our release announcements, the most noteworthy improvements were: Beta 1: - support for more than 1 CD/DVD (was a "regression" in Etch) - NTP clock sync - support for volatile - support for installs from Windows - SATA RAID support Beta 2: - friendlier boot menu on i386/amd64 (graphical installer more visible) - improvements to the language/country selection RC1: - support for Live CD - firmware loading during install - early upgrade of packages wrt security (before booting the installed system) - support for MMC/SD cards as removable media during the install RC2: <none> (none noteworthy enough, I mean) I'd personnaly vote for putting 3 of these in light: - early upgrade security-wise - firmware loading from removable media - Live CD ...and maybe keep the l10n sentence by replacing 58 by 63...:-)
