2427 (regression introduced on 2007-11-26) (#37722)
2428 - install linuxwacom if needed
2429 - load disk/ide before disk/scsi, or else sata_sis may be loaded for a
2430 SATA controller and trigger pata_sis loading before sis5513 is loaded,
2431 which would defeat an eventual alias to sis5513 for a PATA controller
2432 - cpufreq:

2434 (family 6 model 11, for example Toshiba Portégé 3500)

2455 Version 10.6.13 - 5 February 2008
2456
2457 - add "vesa" X driver to use when framebuffer fails
2458 (useful for boxes which work with vga=785 which is not the default, in that
2459 case "vesa" should work)
2460
2461 Version 10.6.12 - 28 January 2008
2462
2463 - 2008.1 beta2 logo

2480 - fix ensuring X is launched on tty7 (cf #37087)
2481 - fix handling LVM VGs with "-" in the name (#37267)
2482 - call X with -nolisten tcp to avoid "security" issues (#18320)
2483 (nb: this implies "xhost+" helper prog is not useful anymore)
2484 - do not propose ext4dev filesystem during install (#37157)
2485
2486 Version 10.6.8 - 24 January 2008
2487
2488 - 2008.1 beta1 logo
2489 - look for LVM PV on non partitioned disk before looking for DOS

2501
2502 - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

2504 sort on Spanish )
2505
2506 Version 10.6.3 - 9 January 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
2507

2514
2515 Version 10.6.1 - 12 December 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

2519 o just like stage1, handle <root of distrib> ending with current arch() so
2520 that we can access main32 on x86_64
2521 - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
2522 (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)
2523 - adapt to perl-URPM 3.00 API to parse pubkey files
2524 - adjust Uzbek locale (cf locales-uz change)
2525 - sort languages in "choose language" step in text mode
2526 - diskdrake:
2527 o drop "Undo", "Restore partition table", "Save partition table"
2528 (preparing to switch to libparted)
2529 - don't check /proc/partitions for a partition_table::lvm
2530 (ie PV on non partitioned drive)
2531
2532 Version 10.5.6 - 30 November 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
2533
2534 - restrict the proposed input-methods for each language
2535 - /dev/<vg> may not exist if LVs have not been created, it must not be an error (#31478)
2536 - use xkb instead of xmodmap
2537 - save bootloader on MBR when calling grub/install.sh, and restore it before
2538 calling it again (#35255) (ie implement "lilo -u" for grub)
2539 - ensure /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap is generated with installed
2540 keymaps, not installer simplified (?) .bkmap (#35376)
2541 - fix wrongly detecting some devices as laptop specific (#35759)
2542 - add /etc/mke2fs.conf symlink so that mke2fs can use it (cf #27377)

2553 - localedrake:
2554 o fix handling variant together with charset (eg: uz.UTF-8@Latn) (#35090)
2555 - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
2556 wipe_drive
2557 - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
2558 bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
2559 kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
2560 - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
2561 - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
2562 since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
2563 on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
2564 after 8 seconds.
2565
2566 Version 10.4.238 - 5 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
2567

2576
2577 Version 10.4.233 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
2578
2579 - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule
2580 (the rules will be generated at boot time otherwise it won't catch the
2581 hdX/srX switch)
2582
2583 Version 10.4.232 - 4 October 2007, by Olivier "blino" Blin
2584
2585 - add helper to get kernel module path (to be used in draklive)

2588

2610 - add acpi-cpufreq support for some Intel CPUs (family 6 model 15)
2611 (from Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski, #30208)
2612
