+live-boot in Debian
+===================
+
+Regressions
+-----------
+
+During the squeeze release cycle, live-initramfs was splitted into live-boot
+(early userspace) and live-config (late userspace). This allowed to rewrite the
+late userspace code in a better way and gain a lot of speed improvement at the
+same time.
+
+However, as with every rewrite, there are a few regressions. Compared to lennys
+live-initramfs version 1.x, live-boot and live-config version 2.x of squeeze
+have to following known bugs:
+
+ * no serial console support during booting.
+
+ * the locale script doesn't automatically configures the keyboard when a
+ 'short' locale is specified (like locales=de).
+
+All of these bugs will be fixed at some point during the squeeze+1 release
+cycle. Since live-boot and live-config version 3.x will contain legacy support
+for squeeze, upgrading to the next generation will be pretty painless.

-TODO
-====
-
-
-1. Regressions
-
-Everything that worked with live-initramfs works with live-boot/live-config,
-except for the following things:
-
- * temporarily no serial console support during booting. this will be added
- back in some time.
- * the locale script temporarily doesn't automatically configures the keyboard
- when a 'short' locale is specified (like locales=de).
- * not exactely a regression, but some boot parameters did change, have a look
- at the manpage of live-config.
-
-
-2. Todo items
-
- * makeing plugins infrastructure self-contained
- * making plugins post- and pre- login processing
- * verify modifications with a d-i sample installation.
- * allow some scripts (most prominently locales) to be run even in persistent mode.
- * use verbose/quiet/interactive modes for scripts.
- * use logfile.
- * enable display managers only if they are the selected one.
- * add option to specify the xsession.
- * when not using persistency, do not import options into the debconf db.
- * cleanup the scripts order and splitting.
- * check if we have the most important scripts for ubuntu so that live-config supports both.
