This bug was fixed in the package installation-guide - 20150528ubuntu1 --------------- installation-guide (20150528ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=low * Merge from Debian unstable; LP: #887663. - fixes a wrong init script name for dhcpd. LP: #666726. - fixes a typo in the table of memory requirements. LP: #1030336. - drops obsolete mention of 2.6 kernels in keyboard preseeding. LP: #1000354. - fixes wrong make-kpkg example invocation. LP: #1019906. - fixes stale link to debian-installer subversion repo. LP: #1233732. * Remaining changes: - Extensive (although possibly incomplete) Ubuntu branding, adjustments for our mirror layout, etc. - Build only English (for now, until we figure out how to avoid trashing translations quite so badly with Ubuntu branding etc.). - Drop build-dependency on poxml for now, since we don't ship any translations. - Add "Ubuntu and Debian" and "What is Ubuntu?" section, text borrowed from the Ubuntu web site. Disable the "What is Debian GNU/Linux?" section. - Build only Ubuntu architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x). - Direct installation reports to ubuntu-users for now. - Document mounting /sys in various places. - Update chroot-install guide for language packs; add a bit more advice about installing grub. - Document our root password and sudo arrangements. - Adjust various memory and disk space requirements. Talk about the default Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu tasks rather than Debian tasks. - Document network-console/authorized_keys_url feature - Document mirror/udeb/components. - Document scheme for preseeding the use of CC.archive.ubuntu.com mirrors. - Document how to override the weak password check. - Document preseeding user-setup's home directory encryption facility. - Document new simplified partman preseeding. - Document partman-auto-lvm/guided_size. - Document partman/default_filesystem. - Document live-installer/net-image. - Improve examples of tasksel/first preseeding to avoid mentioning standard, which is installed by default. - Document pkgsel/update-policy. - Document pkgsel/updatedb. - Document apt-setup/security_path. - Disable documentation of win32-loader. - Document netboot-style USB images. Still mention the hd-media images, but they're downplayed since many USB sticks are too small for a full Ubuntu ISO image. - Retain delta for commented-out OldWorld Mac support because it's easier than reverting it; but at this point OldWorld Macs will almost certainly never be supported in Ubuntu or Debian. - Remove comments about automatic installation methods that have been removed from Ubuntu. - Document Kickstart installations. - Unset supports-floppy-boot for all our architectures. - Don't recommend passing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to debootstrap. - Document that i586 processors and i686 without cmov are no longer supported. * Dropped changes, included in Debian: - Update keyboard preseeding documentation for console-setup. - Replace 'netcfg/disable_dhcp' with 'netcfg/disable_autoconfig' throughout. - Add a few more supports-floppy-boot and bootable-usb conditionals. - Remove some 2.6 kernel specifics. - Remove documentation of base-installer/kernel/linux/initramfs-generators - Update url-us-keymap - Replace 'console-setup' with 'keyboard-config' in preseeding. * Dropped changes: - Rename armel manual to armhf: there are both armel and armhf manuals in Debian, and the armel one contains information only relevant for non-armhf systems. - Documentation of X preseeding: hardware should now be automatically detected, and xserver-xorg no longer uses debconf. LP: #881984. - Don't suppress mention of using a CD as an archive even if the system doesn't boot from CD; this is very relevant for s390x, for instance. - Drop comment about Ubuntu desktop CDs, since this manual is not applicable to non-di images at all and we no longer have an Ubuntu alternate CD. - Drop unnecessary delta to debian/rules which causes e.g. preseed file to show the wrong target release name. LP: #1316242. * Translate '&debian;' and '&debian-gnu;' xml entities to 'Ubuntu', allowing us to significantly reduce the branding delta. * Bump names for xenial. * Bump kernelversion to 4.3. * Disable all the documentation of loadlin, not just half of it. * Never enable the "new-arch" status for any Ubuntu archs. * Set the archive url dynamically based on the architecture, to cover ports.u.c vs. archive.u.c. LP: #1391019. * Revert installation guide changes that say to use /etc/adjtime instead of /etc/default/rcS; /etc/adjtime is evilbadwrong and not used in Ubuntu. * Don't include information about tasks that Ubuntu doesn't have. installation-guide (20150528) unstable; urgency=medium [ Samuel Thibault ] * Give to make-kpkg a "1.0.custom" revision instead of bogus "custom.1.0".
