Passing the buck is a fine art. You can email the webmaster too.

Only after I reported the bug, not before. Obviously, I did not imagine the
bug. Why this dishonest pretence that bugs got fixed _before_ they were
reported ? I am sure you can see the date the bug was reported.
> Putting a link to MDKSA-2003:020 is completely cosmetic. That hardly
constitutes a bug, but I've done it.
Its kind of amazing to see your unwillingless to make things a little easier.
Do u assume every newbie knows where to look for a system update ?

Ah ha. Firstly, that still does not address the point I raised. Also, its very
unclear that there are _two_ separate links from reading:
Mandrake Linux 9.2
Errata
It looks more like "Mandrake Linux 9.2 Errata" when it would be much clearer if
instead it were:
Mandrake Linux 9.2 Updates
Mandrake Linux 9.2 Errata

Firstly, this is about the page in http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3
and there seems to be no category in bugzilla where I could place these bugs.
1) In http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3#install it says:
"Remove the floppy and reboot using the Mandrake Linux 9.1 CD1 to do a CD-ROM
installation."
What does a LM9.1 CD1 have to do with LM9.2 installation. Should this not be
"Remove the floppy and reboot using the Mandrake Linux 9.2 CD1 to do a CD-ROM
installation."
instead ? Looks like you need an "errata on errata" page !!
2) In http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3#webcam
it says:
"Solution: Upgrade to kernel 2.4.22-18mdk in updates (MDKA-2003:020) "
Won't it be nice to put a link in "MDKA-2003:020" to http://
www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKA-2003:020 ?
3) http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3 is has a link for LM9.1 errata.
The LM9.1 errata page has a link for LM9.0 errata.
The LM9.0 errata page has a link for LM8.2 errata.
The LM8.2 errata page has a link for LM8.1 errata.
Whats the use of these hierarchical and cumbersome arrangement ?
Why not have one http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3 page which will
list these 5 current links:
Mandrake 9.2 Errata http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/92errata.php3
Mandrake 9.1 Errata http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/91errata.php3
Mandrake 9.0 Errata http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/90errata.php3
Mandrake 8.2 Errata http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/82errata.php3
Mandrake 8.1 Errata http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/81errata.php3
I am sure you realize that a badly organized and typo-ridden errata will only
make things worse.
