1791 (regression introduced on 2007-11-26) (#37722)
1792 - install linuxwacom if needed
1793 - load disk/ide before disk/scsi, or else sata_sis may be loaded for a
1794 SATA controller and trigger pata_sis loading before sis5513 is loaded,
1795 which would defeat an eventual alias to sis5513 for a PATA controller
1796 - cpufreq:

1798 (family 6 model 11, for example Toshiba Portégé 3500)

1826
1827 - 2008.1 beta2 logo

1845 - fix handling LVM VGs with "-" in the name (#37267)
1846 - call X with -nolisten tcp to avoid "security" issues (#18320)
1847 (nb: this implies "xhost+" helper prog is not useful anymore)
1848 - do not propose ext4dev filesystem during install (#37157)
1849
1850 Version 10.6.8 - 24 January 2008
1851
1852 - 2008.1 beta1 logo
1853 - look for LVM PV on non partitioned disk before looking for DOS

1866 - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

1868 sort on Spanish )
1869
1870 Version 10.6.3 - 9 January 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
1871

1884 that we can access main32 on x86_64
1885 - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1886 (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)

1888 - adjust Uzbek locale (cf locales-uz change)
1889 - sort languages in "choose language" step in text mode
1890 - diskdrake:

1900 - use xkb instead of xmodmap
1901 - save bootloader on MBR when calling grub/install.sh, and restore it before
1902 calling it again (#35255) (ie implement "lilo -u" for grub)

1904 keymaps, not installer simplified (?) .bkmap (#35376)
1905 - fix wrongly detecting some devices as laptop specific (#35759)

1919 - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
1920 wipe_drive
1921 - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1922 bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1923 kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1924 - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1925 - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1926 since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1927 on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1928 after 8 seconds.
1929
1930 Version 10.4.238 - 5 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

1940
1941 Version 10.4.233 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
1942
1943 - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule

1946
1947 Version 10.4.232 - 4 October 2007, by Olivier "blino" Blin
1948
