It was GPL'd in mid-March. It is a very nice manual, covering much more than installation, but it is Progeny-specific. Osamu wanted to get an open-source version up so people could see it right away; but a team's been formed to de-Progenize and completely Debianize it. It's really oriented to first-time Linux users; and as such is a valuable addition. There's not as much technical detail as in our current manual. But, I'll take a look to see if there's something we can incorporate right now. I think it makes sense to keep it separate, for now anyway, so that new users have a friendly introduction. Eventually we can incorporate not-in-your-face links to more expert-user type info. By the same token, expert linux users are rather annoyed and feel their time/bandwidth/disk space is wasted by screen shots and beginner type stuff. It's also i386-only atm (that's all progeny ran on, AFAIK). -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
