adding an outdated warning to the installation manual for some arches
I guess the installation manual is still not fact checked or up to date for some architectures, like alpha, while it's in rasonably good shape for others, like i386 and powerpc. Since we're close to the cutoff point to being able to modify the manual for sarge, I wonder if we should add a warning to the manual to architectures that are known not to be fully up-to-date, something like: Warning: This installation manual is based on an earlier installation manual written for the old Debian installer (the boot-floppies), and has been updated to document the new Debian installer. However, for this architecture, the manual has not been fully updated and fact checked for the new installer. There may remain parts of the manual that are outdated or document the boot-floppies installer. A newer version of this manual, possibly better doucumenting this architecture may be found on the web at http://www.debian.org/debel/debian-installer/. What other architectures besides i386 and powerpc are updated well enough to avoid such a warning? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

What other architectures besides i386 and powerpc are updated well enough to avoid such a warning? Last time I looked at the PowerPC manual, it was not exempt. PowerPC needed such a warning too. Admittedly that was a fair while ago, and the situation may have improved. In any case, I'd be inclined to put it on *all* versions of the manual, even i386. It tells folks where to go to get the latest version. That's always a good idea. Enjoy! Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
