If I understood it correctly, Adam's method uses conditionals to build a bunch of installation manuals (one for each architecture) from a single source file. (Say, if I build the installation manual with the variable ARCH=i386, I will obtain the info for i386 only, not for the others). The user won't see any difference, it's just a developers thing. I think it's a nice idea, and will make the documentation maintainer's life easier. -- Enrique Zanardi [EMAIL PROTECTED]
