Installation manual bugs
To the maintainers
I the manual:
Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 for Intel x86, 28. March 2000
(pdf version)
It is stated in Installation from DOS partition:
Get the following files from your nearest Debian FTP mirror and put
them into a directory on your DOS partition: images-1.20/rescue.bin,
images-1.20/safe/rescue.bin images-1. 44/rescue.bin,
images-1.44/safe/rescue.bin images-1.44/compact/rescue. bin
images-1.44/udma66/rescue.bin images-1.44/idepci/rescue.bin images-2.
88/rescue.bin images-2.88/compact/rescue.bin
images-2.88/udma66/rescue. bin images-2.88/idepci/rescue.bin ,
images-1.20/root.bin, images-1.20/ safe/root.bin, images-1.44/root.bin
images-1.44/safe/root.bin images-1. 44/compact/root.bin
images-1.44/udma66/root.bin images-1.44/idepci/root. bin ,
drivers.tgz, base2_2.tgz, linux, install.bat and loadlin.exe.
Is that really needed?
In section 5.6.2
Disks are named base14-1.bin, should be base-1.bin
In section 6.2
"%1.4 Mb" should be 1.4 Mb
Bug?
When installing from diskettes, the installer happily accepts the
base-n.bin diskettes instead of driver-n.bin.
