  • Ubuntu: Update installer links I've removed mentions of 64-bit when all images are 64-bit. I've changed "Live" to "Desktop" and "alternate" to "server" to match the image names. I have put the release names in parentheses and quotes. I updated the version in 16.04 to 16.04.5. I update 17.10 to old-releases.

  • Debian & Ubuntu: Fix the indentation on 64-bit Apparently we cannot use ** for a second-level indent.

  • Debian & Ubuntu: Harmonize the 64-bit text On all versions, this had a mistake, where "computer" was mentioned twice in a row. On Debian, 64-bit was "preferred"; compared to Ubuntu, this seemed to be a softening of it from a requirement (since it is in the System Requirements) section. It's also not really independent of the image; if you're going to use an amd64 Live CD, it is required. But the point of mentioning it is to discourage 32-bit. I have changed the wording to match the ZFS on Linux FAQ and to link to that entry.

  • Bring back old HOWTOs As discussed on the mailing list, the old HOWTOs can be useful for troubleshooting existing installs. This reverts commit c537bcf251f140e22166913e5dd6a0c0d407d9b2.

  • Ubuntu: Update for 18.04 release Now that 18.04 has been released, the instructions for it no longer need a disclaimer. As 18.04 is the latest release, we can drop 17.10. As 18.04 is the latest LTS, we can drop 16.04.

  • Ubuntu 16.04: Cleanup formatting on last commit This change cleans up the formatting from Jonathan Burns's patch to better match the overall style. I also added/updated the links.

  • Ubuntu: Fix a symlink path ScottHaney reported in issue #6258 that GRUB had complaints about /dev/luks1, and using an absolute path for the symlink fixed that. I'm not entirely sure if this is necessary, but I don't see how the absolute path is any worse.

  • Drop the "partion 9" for root installs The original point of this partition had something to do with bootloaders on Sun systems (per Richard Elling). It is not necessary on Linux.

  • Ubuntu: Fix creating sources.list In my fixes to improve nano support, I moved this step from inside the chroot to outside (before) the chroot. This means the path needs to start with /mnt.

  • Ubuntu: Fix 16.04 LUKS Like 16.10 (and the comment in the 16.04 code), this approach should use "initramfs", not "keyscript=/bin/cat". See also: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820888 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838001
