JFYI this installation report we received from Simon Richter.
It lists a few issues with the Sarge installer, but I have no idea what
their relevance is for the current installer.

free to reopen and reassign.

Now that we have two architectures that are no longer official release

Hi Steven,
The daily builds for etch CDs are failing [1] because amiboot is not
available in the official builds [2].
We suspect this is because of a missing build dependency for d-i on the
amiboot package.
I this correct? Did you just forget it, or is there some other reason
(like licence)?

Note that d-i now uses genbuilddeps from the comments below the line with
the actual build depends. If someones runs that,

Almost all packages targeted for Beta2 have now been uploaded and so far

Yes. Though missing a d-i release cannot be good from a release

Hello d-i porters,
Now that 2.6.16-15 kernels have been uploaded to unstable (using a
linux-2.6.16 source package), we can start thinking about the Etch Beta 3
release of D-I.
Currently all architectures, except for arm, have

The latest upload of linux-2.6.16 is now (after today's mirror sync)

As there were important changes, we should rebuild the kernel udebs
against 2.6.16-17 before starting the builds of debian-ins

Now that linux-2.6.16 has safely landed in testing a few days ago, we can

of most udebs to testing is already in progress
for other installation methods:

- S/390 Beta 3 candidate images are broken; will be fixed with next upload
