Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.17 Severity: normal [I'm not sure if this is the right package to report against but apt-cache doesn't seem to be giving me any better ideas right now]
Having just installed on a Cube coming from a "little PPC experience" I have to agree with this. Branden's iBook page would make a very good addition to the installation manual - there's a bunch of stuff I wouldn't have picked up from the manual as it stands in there (in general, I find the install manual doesn't cover "how do I boot this ?@!* machine into the installer" questions at all well).
