The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of the installer for Debian 9 "Stretch".
Important change in this release of the installer
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
* A major update of os-prober was included in this release. This
component is responsible for finding other operating systems so
that entries can be added to the bootloader's menu. This update
should fix serious bugs, some of which leading to file system
corruption, but might also trigger some regressions. As usual,
running "reportbug os-prober" from the installed system lets you
report any issues.
