1746 (regression introduced on 2007-11-26) (#37722)
1747 - install linuxwacom if needed
1748 - load disk/ide before disk/scsi, or else sata_sis may be loaded for a
1749 SATA controller and trigger pata_sis loading before sis5513 is loaded,
1750 which would defeat an eventual alias to sis5513 for a PATA controller
1751 - cpufreq:

1753 (family 6 model 11, for example Toshiba Portégé 3500)

1781
1782 - 2008.1 beta2 logo

1800 - fix handling LVM VGs with "-" in the name (#37267)
1801 - call X with -nolisten tcp to avoid "security" issues (#18320)

1804
1805 Version 10.6.8 - 24 January 2008
1806
1807 - 2008.1 beta1 logo

1821 - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

1823 sort on Spanish )
1824
1825 Version 10.6.3 - 9 January 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
1826

1839 that we can access main32 on x86_64
1840 - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1841 (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)

1843 - adjust Uzbek locale (cf locales-uz change)
1844 - sort languages in "choose language" step in text mode
1845 - diskdrake:
1846 o drop "Undo", "Restore partition table", "Save partition table"
1847 (preparing to switch to libparted)

1852
1853 - restrict the proposed input-methods for each language

1855 - use xkb instead of xmodmap
1856 - save bootloader on MBR when calling grub/install.sh, and restore it before
1857 calling it again (#35255) (ie implement "lilo -u" for grub)

1859 keymaps, not installer simplified (?) .bkmap (#35376)
1860 - fix wrongly detecting some devices as laptop specific (#35759)

1874 - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
1875 wipe_drive
1876 - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1877 bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1878 kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1879 - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1880 - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1881 since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1882 on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1883 after 8 seconds.
1884
1885 Version 10.4.238 - 5 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

1895
1896 Version 10.4.233 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
1897
1898 - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule

1901
1902 Version 10.4.232 - 4 October 2007, by Olivier "blino" Blin
