Hello,
I have made some suggestions for the 1st chapter of the Woody x86 install
doc. I did not get all the way through, before I got overwhelmed, and
already had the product installed. My suggestions are presented here in the
order that they would appear in the document. Although, I understand that
the translations are excellent, I have used some energy to try and consider
people that are not native English speakers in my word choose.
Also, could you please contact the appropriate ppl to have
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/
to identify the architecture near the top of the page.
Enjoy,
Lloyd D Budd
