Updates to the home page
When the time will come, the D-I home page
(http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer) will need changes to
reflect the publication of RC2.
Please find the proposed changes and the new page attached to this
mail.
This is basically s/RC1/RC2, that's all.
Please comment about possible additions, removals, etc.

Re: gtk frontend home page
[Sebastian Ley] Any chance you can keep a copy of it in CVS, debian-installer/doc/html/? I have no account, so anyone feel free to download and put it under cvs. How do we keep it up to date? We need to decide which version is the master, and which is the copy. That goes for all the pages available from URL:http://people.debian.org/~pere/debian-installer/.

gtk frontend home page
Hello all. Sebastian Ley has put together this awesome page about the status of the gtk-frontend. http://www.mmweg.rwth-aachen.de/~sebastian.ley/d-i/ This explains the current plan we're using, the current state of the involved udebs, and provides a brief description of how to make library udebs. Any corrections are greatly appreciated. thanks Sebastian! this is tremendously useful! -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer, lindows.com hyperpoem.net | GNU/Linux software developer people.debian.org/~mbc | encrypted email preferred There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life.
