1867    
1868     - 2008.1 beta2 logo

1871     - add grub entries to allow booting other installed distros
1872     (using grub "configfile") (see #16604)

1906    
1907     - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the
1908     sort is done on the non-translated strings (eg: we display "Espanol" but we
1909     sort on Spanish )
1910

1924     o just like stage1, handle <root of distrib> ending with current arch() so
1925     that we can access main32 on x86_64
1926     - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1927     (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)

1934     - don't check /proc/partitions for a partition_table::lvm
1935     (ie PV on non partitioned drive)

1958     - localedrake:
1959     o fix handling variant together with charset (eg: uz.UTF-8@Latn) (#35090)
1960     - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
1961     wipe_drive
1962     - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1963     bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1964     kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1965     - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1966     - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1967     since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1968     on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1969     after 8 seconds.

1983    
1984     - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule
1985     (the rules will be generated at boot time otherwise it won't catch the
