The tweeks could be marked as specific to a release. At the time were InstallingDebianOn was started, it was frequent that the instruction to support a recent hardware was very different between DebianStable and DebianTesting. This is not so true anymore (see Thinkpad T[45]00). It might be sensible to merge those pages by default nowadays. I haven't played that much with Debian GNU/kFreeBSD (unfortunately), I wonder if the instructions are still very similar for foo/Linux and foo/kFreeBSD or if they deserve separate pages. Anyone with clues ont that matter can update the wiki page appropriately. My 2ยข, Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
