1887 (regression introduced on 2007-11-26) (#37722)
1888 - install linuxwacom if needed
1889 - load disk/ide before disk/scsi, or else sata_sis may be loaded for a
1890 SATA controller and trigger pata_sis loading before sis5513 is loaded,
1891 which would defeat an eventual alias to sis5513 for a PATA controller
1892 - cpufreq:

1894 (family 6 model 11, for example Toshiba Portégé 3500)

1941 - fix handling LVM VGs with "-" in the name (#37267)
1942 - call X with -nolisten tcp to avoid "security" issues (#18320)
1943 (nb: this implies "xhost+" helper prog is not useful anymore)
1944 - do not propose ext4dev filesystem during install (#37157)
1945
1946 Version 10.6.8 - 24 January 2008
1947

1962 - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

2015 - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
2016 wipe_drive
2017 - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
2018 bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
2019 kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
2020 - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
2021 - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
2022 since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
2023 on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
2024 after 8 seconds.

2038
2039 - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule
