Francesca Ciceri madame...@debian.org (08/08/2012): [cc-ing debian-boot: I totally forgot to do it in my first mail, sorry!] [Please avoid M-F-T: yourlist, that breaks group-reply, which isn't nice on such topics.] Thank you very much for the patch: I've just applied it. I've also slightly reworded the final part (and the title as well) to stress more the request for help concept. Thanks to you and Holger, now it seems quite good to me!

I'd like to send it out tomorrow, can you please have a look at it, and give me your ack/nack? It looks good to me. I'm lagging behind on recent -boot@ mails, but there's at least a common issue to be added to errata: firmware loading. Not sure it's been fully diagnosed yet. But I guess the announcement can be sent as is. Thanks. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Debian Installer 7.0 Beta1 release
Hi Karsten, Karsten Merker mer...@debian.org (04/08/2012): the download links for netinst and businesscard images on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/index.html are wrong; they point to the beta1 directories, but refer to the alpha1 filenames. many thanks for catching that, I had forgotten about the “alpha1” part in directories, and “a1” in filenames. Fixed now. As there are no businesscard images with beta1 any more, wouldn't it make sense to remove the businesscard section on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/index.html? I've just commented them out, we'll re-arrange the table-based layout later (the netinst column is now alone in its row, and using a full-row column isn't nice at all). The website should be rebuilt in a few minutes to benefit from your review, thanks to the debian-www folks. Many thanks! Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
