 * Implement Kickstart compatibility using new debconf preseeding feature in d-i.
  * should be a relatively simple translation job
 * Move from devfs and discover to udev and hotplug.
 * Support any new architectures being added to Ubuntu (ia64 is a candidate).
 * Support USB-stick installs; not everyone can manage with CD or netboot (and unfortunately the kernel doesn't fit on a floppy).
 * Ask all questions before the first reboot.
 * Fix bugs!
Please put general thoughts on mailing lists or elsewhere on the wiki, and bugs in [https://launchpad.net Launchpad], rather than leaving messages here.

== Goals for Breezy ==

 * Develop a graphical front-end to d-i.
  * preferably build on the existing work that's been done on cdebconf-gtk
  * work out a way to hook custom UI widgets into debconf: glade, complete custom widgets or debconf callbacks or both
  * usability testing
  * cooperate with DesktopTeam, maybe HIGify?
 * write PartitionProber d-i component, which will find partitions from computer's hard disk(s) (and maybe other non-hotplugabble storage), for example windows C (and other) disks, linux and *bsd partitions from other distributions, etc...

Subject: Canon i250
Message-ID: <20050512204116+0100@www.ubuntulinux.org>

Hi, my name is Carlos Molina, and i use Ubuntu 4.10 with a Canon i250 printer, I have the original source code drivers from canon but i can´t compile them in this version of ubuntu, i would like to know if i can send you the packages and the rpm format installer from canon to you so you can help me build and install this printer driver and perhaps you could integrate this drivers on the next release of ubuntu for all of us users of the ubuntu linux system with this printer and the same problem.

Thank you for your support on the matter

Carlos

Where to File Bugs

If you have a bug in the installer found on the "desktop" or "live" CD (the graphical installer), then please file that against the "ubiquity" package.

If you have a bug in the installer found on the "alternate", "server", or "install" CD (the text-based installer), then please file that against the "debian-installer" package in the first instance. It may be assigned to a more appropriate package later.

Goals and Responsibilities

  • Maintain the Ubuntu installer at the quality of the last stable release or better.
  • Keep the Ubuntu installer in sync with the Debian installer as much as we can, and feed back relevant changes.
  • Develop new installer features, in cooperation with Debian and with the other groups using d-i.
  • Support users who have problems installing Ubuntu.

Warning

Please put general thoughts on mailing lists or elsewhere on the wiki, and bugs in [https://launchpad.net Launchpad], rather than leaving messages here.
