The second alpha release of the installer for the next major Debian release - "Bullseye". The release is expected in mid-2021.
Key changes in the installer compared to :
- The Linux kernel has been updated to version 5.4;
- The templates for installation information blocks about system clock setup, highlighting the freshly installed system in the boot menu, and incorrect IP address input have been updated;
- A check for the installation of tasksel (package selection sets for different installation modes of the distribution) has been added to pkgsel, regardless of its priority. A debconf template has been added to skip tasksel (installation and request for package selections) while still retaining access to other pkgsel options;
- When installing with a dark theme, a high-contrast mode has been enabled;
- Support for compiz ezoom (magnifier for viewing details by visually impaired users) has been added;
- The use of multiple consoles has been adjusted - if is active, only one priority console is launched instead of simultaneously starting multiple consoles;
- In systemd, the file 73-usb-net-by-mac.link has been activated in udev-udeb;
- The reserved user names input, kvm, and render have been added (udev.postinst adds them as system groups);
- Support for Librem 5 and OLPC XO-1.75 devices has been added.
