1846    
1847     - ensure failing to build mdkinst.sqfs is a fatal error
1848     - drakx-in-chroot:
1849     o just like stage1, handle <root of distrib> ending with current arch() so
1850     that we can access main32 on x86_64
1851     - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1852     (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)
1853     - adapt to perl-URPM 3.00 API to parse pubkey files
1854     - adjust Uzbek locale (cf locales-uz change)
1855     - sort languages in "choose language" step in text mode
1856     - diskdrake:
1857     o drop "Undo", "Restore partition table", "Save partition table"
1858     (preparing to switch to libparted)
1859     - don't check /proc/partitions for a partition_table::lvm
1860     (ie PV on non partitioned drive)
1861    
1862     Version 10.5.6 - 30 November 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
1863    
1864     - restrict the proposed input-methods for each language
1865     - /dev/<vg> may not exist if LVs have not been created, it must not be an error (#31478)
1866     - use xkb instead of xmodmap
1867     - save bootloader on MBR when calling grub/install.sh, and restore it before
1868     calling it again (#35255) (ie implement "lilo -u" for grub)
1869     - ensure /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap is generated with installed
1870     keymaps, not installer simplified (?) .bkmap (#35376)
1871     - fix wrongly detecting some devices as laptop specific (#35759)
1872     - add /etc/mke2fs.conf symlink so that mke2fs can use it (cf #27377)
1873    
1874     Version 10.5.5 - 14 November 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

1883     - localedrake:
1884     o fix handling variant together with charset (eg: uz.UTF-8@Latn) (#35090)
1885     - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
1886     wipe_drive
1887     - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1888     bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1889     kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1890     - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1891     - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1892     since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1893     on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1894     after 8 seconds.
