Bug#302584: Problems with the hppa installer-manual
Package: debian-installer-manual
I just took a little time to review the sarge installation manual
at http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/hppa/ .
It's a big improvement over the woody one!
I do have some nits I'd like fixed before release:
2.1.3 currently reads:
> The newer AGP video slots are actually a modification on the PCI specification, and most AGP video cards work under XFree86.
Just delete that line, it's pretty much a non-sequiter. Or maybe change
it to:
> Most AGP, PCI and PCIe video cards work under XFree86.
2.4.2 should read something like:
2.4.2. RAM for PA-RISC machines
HP has sold a wide variety of RAM for PA-RISC workstations and servers.
It is generally not compatible with RAM used in other architectures and you
should only use RAM that is specifically designed for PA-RISC machines.
(to be honest, 2.4.2 is probably bad even on i386 -- who uses SIMMs
these days?)
3.2 doesn't make much sense for PA-RISC. You can't share the hard drive
between HPUX and Debian, so you need to find a second drive if you want to
dual-boot.
3.6 also seems pretty incongruous
4.3 says "In the examples in this section, we shall provide commands
for SunOS 4.x, SunOS 5.x (a.k.a. Solaris), and GNU/Linux."
I see no Solaris examples
5.2.1 isn't an issue as we have no floppy support
Thanks

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
