Bug#557312: www.debian.org

[jay_e <lin-jay@jay-e.net>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

The faq:
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#update-cd

In the sub-topic: What are the "update"** CDs?
Says:
"...You only need to download either the update CD or the normal CDs, 
not both!"

Version: (I'm not sure of version number - but the English data was 
displayed 21-November-2009)


The 'not both' statement is misleading.
You do need both - the first for the 'base' and the second for the update.
The update does not contain the contents of the original.
And in the case of CD#1, the update won't boot.

See problem report #555845.

Suggestion:
 1) Delete the statement:"You only need to download either the update 
CD or the normal CDs, not both!"
 2) Add a statementconcerning when the Update CD/DVD should be loaded, e.g.
     During the install process, the update CD/DVD can be loaded after 
the regular cd.
     After the system is booted, the updated cd can be added with:
             # apt-cdrom add

Perhaps include a reference to  
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto   (Adding a CD-ROM to the 
sources.lst file)

Thanks,
Jay
