1789 (regression introduced on 2007-11-26) (#37722)
1790 - install linuxwacom if needed
1791 - load disk/ide before disk/scsi, or else sata_sis may be loaded for a
1792 SATA controller and trigger pata_sis loading before sis5513 is loaded,
1793 which would defeat an eventual alias to sis5513 for a PATA controller
1794 - cpufreq:

1796 (family 6 model 11, for example Toshiba Portégé 3500)

1824
1825 - 2008.1 beta2 logo

1864 - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

1866 sort on Spanish )
1867

1882 that we can access main32 on x86_64
1883 - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1884 (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)

1898 - use xkb instead of xmodmap
1899 - save bootloader on MBR when calling grub/install.sh, and restore it before
1900 calling it again (#35255) (ie implement "lilo -u" for grub)

1902 keymaps, not installer simplified (?) .bkmap (#35376)
1903 - fix wrongly detecting some devices as laptop specific (#35759)

1917 - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
1918 wipe_drive
1919 - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1920 bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1921 kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1922 - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1923 - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1924 since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1925 on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1926 after 8 seconds.

1938
1939 Version 10.4.233 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
1940
1941 - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule
