Hi all, as it sounds that time is getting short, I took some of my sleep time to prepare the attached patch. Does it sound sane for an upload soon (aka tomorrow) ? I'd appreciate review on the wording of the text in particular. An opinion on the handling of the BYHAND variable from the FTPMasters would be appreciated too (should BYHAND be yes at each upload to unstable? at each "safe" upload? at each upload targetted to testing? only in stable-updates uploads, … ? ). Cheers, and good night, OdyX -- Didier Raboud, proud Debian Developer. CH-1020 Renens o...@debian.org

+===== Win32-Loader =====
+
+== What is Win32-Loader? ==
+
+win32-loader is a component of the Debian-Installer that runs on Windows and
+has the ability to load the actual installer either from the network or from
+CD-ROM media (as in the version included in the official CD images).
+
+This executable is the standalone flavour, which downloads the Debian
+Installer from official Debian mirrors.
+
+== How does it work? ==
+
+After a GPL license acceptance, the executable prompts the user for some
+options and tries to get defaults from the Windows environment. It then
+downloads the official Debian installer and kernel from the official Debian
+mirrors. It puts them in a Windows directory and safely modifies the Windows
+bootloader to enable a choice between the legacy Windows installation and the
+Debian installer at boot time.
+
+Then, on the next reboot, the user can choose to continue the installation of
+Debian. The installation will be run using the defaults gathered from the
+runtime analysis and user prompting.
+
+== Removal ==
+
+When win32-loader.exe is uninstalled, it removes the Debian-Installer image
+and kernel and restores the Windows bootloader settings.
+
+== Authors and licensing ==
