-    <p>If you install from CD-ROM or DVD and also choose to use a network
-    mirror during the installation, there is a possibility that after the
-    installation there will be lines referring to <q>sarge</q> instead
-    of <q>etch</q> in the file <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>.<br />
-    This can only happen if the mirror you selected is not up-to-date
-    and still has sarge as the stable release. Users installing etch
-    from CD/DVD shortly after the release are recommended to check their
-    <tt>sources.list</tt> file after the installation and replace
-    <q>sarge</q> with <q>etch</q> if needed.</p>

-  <release-notes title="Official Debian 3.1 rev6" version="3.1 rev6">
-    <p>A bug was discovered in the 3.1r6 installation CD/DVD images:
-    installations would fail immediately due to a missing <q>oldstable</q>
-    symbolic link. However, the update CD/DVD images work correctly.</p>
-    <p>This issue was resolved in the 3.1r6a images.</p>

-
-    <p>During installations for the architectures i386, hppa, ia64 and
-    s390, the installer may select an incorrect kernel for your system.<br />
-    You can work around this issue by booting the installer with the parameter
-    <tt>debconf/priority=medium</tt>. This will result in a full list of
-    available kernels being shown, from which you can manually select the flavor
-    that is appropriate for your system.</p>
-
-    <p>Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause; we expect to fix
-    this issue for r6.</p>

-
-    <p>CD#1 contains extra files that should have been deleted, but
-    were missed when releasing 3.1r3. This causes two problems:</p>
-
-    <ul>
-      <li>The kernel installed using these images will, in some cases,
-      not be the latest kernel on the CD, but rather the previous
-      version. Update the kernel specifically after installation and
-      all should be fine.</li>
-
-      <li>As the extra files on CD#1 take up extra space, some of the
-      normal installation tasks will no longer fit there. If you want
-      to install all the tasks from CD only, you will need to use CD#2
-      as well.</li>
-    </ul>
-
-    <p>Apologies for any hassle this may cause; we expect to fix this
-    issue for r4. DVD images and network installs should not be

-  <dt><strong>Official Debian 2.2 rev3</strong></dt>
-    <dd>
-    <p>Toshiba laptops are reported to have problems booting off the CDs
-    because their BIOS
-    <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0104/msg01326.html">cannot
-    handle</a> 2.88MB boot images. The easiest way to start installing
-    Debian on these machines is by running <tt>boot.bat</tt> from the
-    <tt>install/</tt> directory of the Binary-1 CD.</p>
-
-    <p>Not all packages from section <q>contrib</q> are included on the CDs,
-    since they depend on non-free packages that are also not on the CDs.</p>
-
-    <p>The problems with the <tt>gpm</tt> text-mode mouse driver have still
-    not been resolved. See in the <q>2.2 rev0</q> section below for more
-    info.</p>

-
-    <p><strong>i386</strong>: There are some issues with the <tt>gpm</tt>
-    text-mode mouse driver while running the X Window System. The easiest
-    solution is to remove the line
-    <tt>repeat_type=<em>&lt;something&gt;</em></tt> from
-    <tt>/etc/gpm.conf</tt>, running <q><tt>/etc/init.d/gpm&nbsp;restart</tt></q>
-    and then restart X.  Other solutions are possible, ask the
-    <a href="mailto:gpm@packages.debian.org">gpm maintainer</a> to supply
-    more documentation.</p>
-
-    <p><strong>i386</strong>: The previously available Binary-2 CD image had
-    a one-bit problem that prevented the package <q><tt>pdksh</tt></q> from being
-    installed. Repairing your own image is very easy with the 
-    <a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-i386-2.c">correct-i386-2.c</a>
-    program.</p>
-
-    <p>Thanks to <a href="mailto:kteague@sprocket.dhis.net">Ken Teague</a>
-    we also have a precompiled 
-    <a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-i386-2.zip">Windows
-    version</a>; usage: extract the <tt>.zip</tt> in the dir where the
-    <tt>binary-i386-2.iso</tt> file is sitting, then in a DOS box change to
-    that directory and give the command <q><tt>correct-i386-2
-    binary-i386-2.iso</tt></q>.</p>
-
-    <p>If you have a CD-ROM, which you obviously cannot repair, the easiest
-    option to get <tt>pdksh</tt> is to 
-    <a href="http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/shells/pdksh_5.2.14-1.deb">download
-    it</a> (212 kB) and install with <q><tt>dpkg -i pdksh_5.2.14-1.deb</tt></q>. 
-    But you can also copy the file from the CD to a temporary directory and
-    use the same 
-    <a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-i386-2.c">correct-i386-2.c</a>
-    program, but then you should modify it so that <tt>POS</tt> is
-    <tt>0x64de</tt>.</p>
-
-    <p><strong>PowerPC</strong>: The powerpc Binary-1_NONUS and Binary-3 CD
-    images are also plagued by a one-bit problem, preventing
-    <q><tt>smbfs</tt></q> and <q><tt>gimp-manual</tt></q> respectively from being
-    installed. Repaired versions are (slowly) propagating to the mirrors,
-    but you can repair your own images very easily with the 
-    <a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-powerpc-1_NONUS.c">correct-powerpc-1_NONUS.c</a>
-    and 
-    <a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-powerpc-3.c">correct-powerpc-3.c</a>
-    programs. These also contain information on repairing the affected
-    packages individually when copied from CD (which is especially useful
-    for the 15MB-sized <q><tt>gimp-manual</tt></q>).</p>
-
-    <p><strong>Sparc</strong>: The 2.2 rev0 CDs have a problem when booting
-    from the Binary-1 CD. This has been solved in the 2.2 rev0a (or
-    2.2_rev0_CDa) version of the sparc CDs.</p>
-
-    <p>Sparc: If X does not start correctly, and the error message mentions
-    the mouse, and you are <em>not</em> running the <tt>gpm</tt> text-mode
-    mouse driver, <q><tt>rm -f /dev/gpmdata</tt></q> might help.</p>
-
-    <p><strong>Alpha</strong>: The 2.2 rev0 CDs may prove problematic when
-    booting from the Binary-1 CD. To solve that, boot with <q><tt>-flags
-    i</tt></q>, then enter at the aboot prompt:
-    <br />
-      <tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;aboot&gt; b /linux
-      initrd=/boot/root.bin root=/dev/ram</tt>
-    <br />
-    This problem has been corrected in the 2.2 rev0a (or 2.2_rev0_CDa)
-    version of the alpha CDs.</p>
