Debian Installer Jessie Beta 2 release
October 5th, 2014
The Debian Installer team is pleased to announce the second beta release of the installer for Debian 8Jessie.
Important changes in this release of the installer
Gnome is now the default desktop environment on Linux again.
A list of desktop environments is displayed in tasksel, making it easy to install another desktop environment (or several of them). Unfortunately that is currently a bit underdocumented (#764026).
Preliminary support for the arm64 and ppc64el architectures has been added.
Other changes in this release of the installer
brltty: Append the configuration inherited from d-i to the end of brltty.conf instead of overwriting it (which was thus losing the documentation for the user).
brltty: Enable accessibility in XFCE, LXDE and MATE sessions too.
busybox: Add support for /32 subnets in udhcpc script (#652573).
choose-mirror: Strip off any scheme part found at the start of mirror/*/hostname (#706191).
console-setup: Correct default keymap for South Korea (#756052).
console-setup: Use nepali keymap for Nepali and Tharu by default.
debian-installer:
Fix the PXE boot images built for kfreebsd, hurd (#759686).
Add fonts-lohit-guru-udeb to gtk images, fixing rendering for Punjabi (#761573).
Remove desktop selection from syslinux; now available in tasksel.
Keep Linux modules.builtin file in the initrd.

lowmem: Update lowmem limits for linux-x86.
lowmem: Make the / ramfs fill the whole memory again (#759336).

netcfg: Don't copy /etc/network/interfaces to /target if netcfg/target_network_config=ifupdown (#709017).
netcfg: Fix support for entering an ESSID manually, it was previously getting ignored (#757478).
preseed: Update auto-install/defaultroot for jessie.
preseed: Always disable locale & keyboard question when auto is enabled, even if no preseed file was given on boot, in case the dhcp server provides it (#759290).
rootskel: Update lowmem limit for gtk on linux-x86.
rootskel: Use a tmpfs for some directories to avoid running out of space in the fixed-size initrd on kfreebsd-* (#757985).
