In Russian language it is normal to change the official names of book, films and so on according to grammatical rules. So even using &manual; as the book name "Debian Installation Manual" (or better "&dist; Installation Manual") will still lead to problems. "Just look this up in the manual named &manual" look awkward to me. I just want to bring some attention to the topic, as having problems is rather probable - this is something the manual authors have to keep in mind. -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
