Hello there d-i team & friends, We are in the process of revamping the Release Notes for the Squeeze release and one of the chapters in need of review/update is the "Installation System" chapter [1]. This chapter should list the new features of the d-i system for this specific release. However, the current content is specific to the Lennny release and needs to be fully reviewed.
Browsing the Debian Installer Goals for Squeeze in the wiki [2] I can get a feeling of some of the most relevant changes, but it would help if the specific goals that have been met and change the user experience (from previous d-i versions) is detailed. I would appreciate if you could provide the following: - a list of new features not available in the previous release - a list of features that were available in the previous release that are no longer available now - a list of the new languages available for the d-i since the last release (if any) or languages that have been dropped Some of these we can find by comparing the d-i manual from Lenny to Squeeze. For example, alpha or arm are no longer a supported arches in d-i, and support for some flavors/platforms/subarchitectures (mainly in mips and arm?) has changed too. However, it would help the Release Notes editors a lot if the d-i team provided a detailed description of this information. If you can, it might be also useful to know which of the features previous available in the Lenny release in d-i are no longer supported or have changed dramatically as that might be relevant for the upgrade process. That is, what will happen if a user installed Lenny with feature X which is no longer supported in Squeeze and he upgrades from one release to the other one. Finally, you might want to summarise the information and use it to also update the NewInSqueeze information in the wiki [3] related to the Debian installer. Thanks for your help!
