Hi,
while translating the release-notes for Bullseye, I noticed that support for some devices has been dropped, which we currently list in the installation-guide
as supported (see
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/armel/release-notes/ch-information.de.html#no-longer-supported-hardware)
I have prepared a patch, to update the installation-guide according this.
(I already remove old parts, mentioning which devices have been dropped from Debian 8.)
Comments (especially arm people) ?
