What you said may be true, but the manual does Interesting. Where did you find it? There *is* no Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 yet, so I wonder why there's an installation manual for it. > not indicate that it's for Stable, Testing, Unstable, > or Swiss cheese, for that matter.

Indeed, I don't know why it says this, it may be a language problem ("release" meaning different things), I don't know. But in any case, you should talk to debian-www about it. /Martin -- Martin Sjögren sjogren@debian.org -- marvin@dum.chalmers.se GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = "hello" : hello in putStr (unlines hello)
