and to avoid too much maintenance errat page should be redesigned with a clear
separation between installation and usage problems.

description: 
Many users have issues during or just after installation (ie first boot), which
could be avoided if they were aware of the errata before starting the installation.

Ideally, we want some way to ensure that the user has seen the errata list
before even initiating an installation (web browser in stage1 ? ;-)).

Probably the easiest highly visible solution would be to include a message in
the isolinux/syslinux boot screen to that effect.

Additionally, users who had previously used proprietary drivers may have issues
(especially users with drivers which are necessary for their internet
connection) may be unaware that they should obtain new drivers before installation.

The message should be quite strongly worded (ie "Before considering
installation, please see the errata for this release at ... . Additionally, if
your hardware requires proprietary drivers, please ensure you  have access to
them before continuing."), but maybe a bit more brief ...
