      can find them easily.
    + Will add a short sentence into README.html/README.txt
  * Add top-level control of which checksums are desired for output images
    see the CHECKSUMS setting in CONF.sh
  * Fix some bashisms in tools/apt-selection.

Frans Pop d961fb7e0e s390: specify offset and size of the initrd for booting from CD
The old setup worked fine with an ext2 initrd but fails with an initramfs,
either because autodetection is different for initramfs or because of kernel
changes (I suspect the first).
This means that booting s390 from CD has not worked since sometime during the
Etch release cycle, even though support for booting from CD was only added
early in that cycle - ouch.

For booting with an initramfs initrd we apparently need to specify its
offset and size at specific memory locations.

Change is based on SuSE's CD boot. Many thanks to Adam Thornton, Mark Post
(of Novell) and Bastian Blank for providing the pointers to the missing bits.

This fixes booting from CD using the d390.ins file; tested in Hercules for
both Lenny (31-bit kernel) and Squeeze (64-bit kernel).
Booting from CD using the d390.tdf file may still be broken (if possible at
all) as I have no idea how to test that.

Frans Pop fe2334131d Add a Xen variant on i386 and amd64
Patch from Ian Campbell.

i386 Xen guests require a PAE (686-bigmem) kernel in order to
run. Therefore this variant includes the relevant installer kernel and
ramdisk in install.386/xen as well as suitable kernel udebs and proper
debs for the installed system.

amd64 Xen has no similar requirement but we include the kernels under
install.amd/xen in order to have a consistent path under both
architectures.
