From: Frans Pop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Some seriously outdated info in Debian Reference Date: Sun, 24 Dec 2006 15:49:06 +0100 Hi Osamu, While working on the installation guide I happened to take a look at the Debian Reference and noticed that there are some sections that are seriously outdated where it comes to the detailed information in them: -http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-system.en.html#s-kernel-details -http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-install.en.html#s-bootfloppy -http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-install.en.html#s3.1.8 -http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-install.en.html#s3.8 especially the first 3 subsections (maybe the 4th too) IMHO it would be better to remove the clearly outdated info than to keep it in for Etch. Also: -http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-system.en.html#s-uptodate aptitude has been the preferred tool since Sarge for upgrading and isn't even mentioned. -http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-kernel.en.html Chapter is completely focussed on 2.4 kernels and thus very misleading with the major changes we've had both in the kernel itself and in kernel packaging. Alternative is to link to the kernel handbook at: http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ I hope you'll have some time to look into this before the release.
