1800 (regression introduced on 2007-11-26) (#37722)
1801 - install linuxwacom if needed
1802 - load disk/ide before disk/scsi, or else sata_sis may be loaded for a
1803 SATA controller and trigger pata_sis loading before sis5513 is loaded,
1804 which would defeat an eventual alias to sis5513 for a PATA controller
1805 - cpufreq:

1807 (family 6 model 11, for example Toshiba Portégé 3500)

1835
1836 - 2008.1 beta2 logo

1857 - do not propose ext4dev filesystem during install (#37157)
1858
1859 Version 10.6.8 - 24 January 2008
1860

1875 - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

1877 sort on Spanish )
1878

1893 that we can access main32 on x86_64
1894 - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1895 (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)

1897 - adjust Uzbek locale (cf locales-uz change)
1898 - sort languages in "choose language" step in text mode

1909 - use xkb instead of xmodmap
1910 - save bootloader on MBR when calling grub/install.sh, and restore it before
1911 calling it again (#35255) (ie implement "lilo -u" for grub)

1913 keymaps, not installer simplified (?) .bkmap (#35376)
1914 - fix wrongly detecting some devices as laptop specific (#35759)

1928 - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
1929 wipe_drive
1930 - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1931 bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1932 kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1933 - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1934 - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1935 since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1936 on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1937 after 8 seconds.

1951
1952 - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule

1956 Version 10.4.232 - 4 October 2007, by Olivier "blino" Blin
