Package: debian-installer manual
Version:
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n, patch
I have just translated the hardware.po section of the manual. While
doing so, I noticed the following typos or errors, which I thought
you might like to clear up before release.
I'm not sure if the above tags will work for this report, if i have
them correctly, so have sent a copy to you, Frans. I hope that's OK.
Sorry it's taken me so long to find time to continue working on the
Manual. I hope I can get it done before release, if that is still
useful.

boot the installer image with the <literal>console=ttyS</

have your terminal connected to — usually <literal>2</literal>,

Original: ⌘0 Most systems use this kernel flavour, which supports
the PowerPC 601, 603, 604, 740, 750, and 7400 processors. All Apple
Power Macintosh systems up to and including the G4 use one of these
processors.
- systems
+ machines
OR
+ processor configurations
The G4 is not a system: it is the type of processor configuration,
and therefore is usually used to identify the machine. My laptop is
an iBook G4, that's họw it is classified, based on the overall
hardware config, and on the processor config. powering the machine.
When I look at About This Mac in my Apple menu, it ignores the
hardware config entirely and simply says "Processor: PowerMac 1.2 GHz
G4". (More detailed hardware config is available via "More Info...".)
I would also strongly recommend you change "Macintosh" to "Mac" or
"Apple Mac" throughout your documentation. No Mac user calls it the
Macintosh, and Apple certainly doesn't. "What are you running?" "I've
got a Mac." My Apple menu says "About This Mac", not "About This
Macintosh", and our help documentation is called "Mac Help", not
"Macintosh Help".
The word Macintosh is also more confusing for readers of other
languages, too, since it's a difficult word to work out, not
structured as will make sense in many languages. Combined consonant
sounds are difficult for speakers of many languages.

Original: ⌘0 Macintosh computers using the 680x0 series of
processors are not in the PowerPC family but are instead m68k
machines. Those models start with <quote>Mac II</quote> or have a 3-
digit model number such as Centris 650 or Quadra 950. Apple's pre-
iMac PowerPC model numbers have four digits.
You're forgetting the LC models. I had a LCIII, which was a 68030.
The LCs came between the Mac II and the Quadra. I later had a Quadra,
which was a 68040.
- Those models start with <quote>Mac II</quote> or have a 3-digit
model number such as Centris 650 or Quadra 950.
+ Those models start with <quote>Mac II</quote> series, go on to the
<quote>LC</quote> family, then the Centris series, and culminate in
the Quadras. These models usually have a Roman numeral or 3-digit
model number such as Mac IIcx, LCIII or Quadra 950. This group of
machines also includes the laptops Mac Portable, Powerbook models
100-190cs and Powerbook Duo models 210-280c.
This model range started with the Mac II (Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIci,
IIsi, IIvi, IIvx, IIfx), then the LC (LC, LCII, III, III+, 475, 520,
550, 575, 580, 630), then the Mac TV, then the Centris (610, 650,
660AV), the Quadra (605, 610, 630, 650, 660AV, 700, 800, 840AV, 900,
950), and finally the Performa 200-640CD, an excellent line of
machines. Very reliable, robust and capable.
In laptops, it started with the Mac Portable, then the PowerBook
100-190cs and the PowerBook Duo 210-550c (excluding PowerBook 500
which is Nubus, please see the section below).
Please feel free to use this information. It is correct and
comprehensive, which will help users with different models of
machines. You can refer to MacTracker, or any of the Mac information
sites.

NuBus systems are not currently supported by debian/powerpc. The
monolithic Linux/PPC kernel architecture does not have support for
these machines; instead, one must use the MkLinux Mach microkernel,
which Debian does not yet support. These include the following:

these strings. ;)

4400-9600, the Twentieth Anniversary Mac, the Performa 5200CD-6420

.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Update kernel building section to conditionalise some more 2.4 kernel
stuff.
* Suggest passing --initrd to make-kpkg since the docs say nothing about
compiling disk drivers into the kernel.
* Document new passwd/root-login setting.
* Booting a USB stick via a boot floppy is not supported by current
installer images.
* Update preseeding docs to use task names, not short descriptions, since
that will work now and is more convenient for preseeding.
* Document the kde-desktop and gnome-desktop subtasks.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Various corrections suggested by Clytie Siddall.
* chroot-install:
- add /etc/hosts to be created for network configuration (closes: #364517)
- make kernel/linux-image variable (closes: #345482)
* Document -- command line option for passing parameters to boot loader
configuration (closes: #309889).
* Switch Finnish from XML-based to PO-based translation.
* Bring numbering and layout of GPL more in line with original. With thanks
to Holger Wansing.
* Add functionality to include optional paragraphs in translations.
Initially two have been defined:
- a paragraph in bookinfo for information about the translation;
- a note in appendix/gpl.xml required with unofficial GPL translations.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Document new preseed/run setting.
* Prebaseconfig renamed to finish-install, which changes some documentation,
and. notably, renames one of the xml files.
* hd-media size changed to 256 mb.
* Document new aliases added in preseed 1.17 for common debconf boot
parameters: fb, url, file, locale, interface.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Document guided partitioning using LVM and update partitioning section.
.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* The RiscPC flavour is now known as "rpc" rather than "riscpc".
* As of 2.6, r4k-ip22 also rupports r5k machines do the r5k-ip22 flavour
has been dropped.
.
[ Holger Levsen ]
* Added the remaining suggestions about nubus and non-powerpc macs
(closes: #364546).
* Restructured the chapter about powerpc supported hardware, moved
unsupported machines to the end.
* Updated the information about existing kernel flavours.
.
[ Miroslav Kure ]
* Document installation to encrypted partitions (partman-crypto).
* Update XOrg to 7.0.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Etch has been assigned version 4.0.
* Update kernel versions to 2.6.16.
* Base languages to be built for website on list of release languages.
* arm, mips and mipsel switched to 2.6 kernels.
* Enable Brazillian Portuguese and Vietnamese translation for release.
* Disable Greek translation as it is too incomplete.
