Re: Bug#61037: Cross-References point to first page of chapter
Curioser and curioser. The page references are OK when I build the docs.
BUT I was looking at the install docs which were in the public archive
for downlading (I was mistaken about its being my own copy).
Specifically, I was looking at the english i386 "Installing Debian
GNU/Linux 2.2 for Intel x86" version 2.2.11, 21 April 2000.
Can anyone on debian-boot explain this?
For example, the second paragraph of section 4.2 refers to 'Select and
Install Profiles' as being on p. 39. That is the start page of
chapter 7; the actual section is on p. 48.
