Lloyd's minor issues with current (20020813) install.en.pdf
Hello amazing contributors to the free world,
Been a couple of years since I have done a debian install. Three minor
issues with the current (20020813) install.en.pdf:
1. 'safe' in the context of the floppy images is not described.
Further, it would be useful to have a reference back to "4.2.2 Choosing
the Right Installation Set" in "11.2.3 Description of Installation
System Files", particularly as related to
http://www.debian.org/distrib/floppyinst
2. "3.7 Installing Debian GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux System" seems out
of place. I also think I understand the good reasons why it is there,
but a counter argument is that in theory something could work on BSD,
and not necessarily work on Debian GNU/Linux -- ie. see "3.8
Pre-Installation Hardware and Operating System Setup". It seems that
this work best as an appendix with reference back to sections 1-3.
Three point seven seems to end really leaving a non-Debian familiar
person hanging. Is the next step to see the later steps in 8 or 9 or
... ?
3. I am surprised that '/boot' is not listed in 6 the "a list of
important considerations regarding directories and partitions." Is
mounting it read-only or better yet, not at all no longer a worth while
activity to setup toward?
All and all an excellent manual,
best regards,
Lloyd D Budd
