The Debian Installer team has announced the Debian Installer 6.0 Release Candidate 1 release. Read about all the changes and improvements at their announcement.
Remember Squeeze will ship with a completely free Linux Kernel, although if you require use of the non-free bits you can keep fetching them from non-free. Non-free is not part of the Debian default installation and must be enabled manually.
Your help is welcome:
- With any of the bugs at http://tinyurl.com/squeeze-sort, especially with the bugs marked as blocked.
-
With the release notes, report a bug to
release-notes
(with patch!) if you see any information missing or incomplete or if you have something worthwhile to add. - Translating the release notes with the Debian internationalization teams.
- And you are still on time to do upgrade and installation tests and report any big issue you may encounter.

Hi,
On a side note, while I do think that making a stand against non-free part of the kernel is good. However, most (if not all) wifi drivers do require a binary firmware, so reallistically, anyone installing a debian on a laptop will need them, so it might be a good idea for debian to also propose a non-free cd with those firmware, eventually, countaining an explanation of why those are bad when downloading the CD.
