Excerpt:
"In the nearly two months since the release of rc1, we've made a number of improvements to the installer, including:
* Support for completely automated installs via debconf database preseeding.
* Online resizing of NTFS filesystems.
* Support for booting from LVM.
* Support for booting from software RAID 1 (experimental).
* Software RAID 5.
* 2.4.27 and 2.6.8.1 kernels.
* Support for piles of additional hardware.
* Fixed all of the errata of rc1.
* Installs possible with at little as 24 mb of memory.
* Two months of improvements to the software in Debian sarge.
* More other improvements than we could list here in a week."
