Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.23

  i'm not a subscriber of this list (i read it via the web and
via usenet gateway) but wished to pass these noticed things along...

  sorry, also be gentle with me, i didn't want to send this as
three different bugs.  :)

  p.s.  thank you to everyone who's done the work to get to this
point.  my woody system does boot and i had to go via an unusual
route since i didn't have cd's and only had a few floppy disks to
write to (not the roughly thirty i would have had to do to get
the base system installed).  it's not quite configured yet, but
i was greatly happy just to get it to where i could boot and get
the base system via pppoe.


1.  in the document:

http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html#s-create-floppy

  the following section states:


---quote---
4.3.2 Writing Disk Images From DOS, Windows, or OS/2

If you have access to an i386 machine, you can use one of the following programs to copy images to floppies. 

[...snip...]

NTRawrite is an attempt to create a contemporary version of Rawrite/Rawrite3 that is consistently compatible with WinNT, Win2K and Win95/98. It is a self-explanatory GUI application; you select the disk drive to write to, browse to the disk image you want to place there and hit the Write button. 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ntrawrite/ 
---endquote---

  anyways, this last bit could mislead someone to thinking that
NTRawrite could be used on a Win95/98 system, but after downloading
and looking at it the stuff says WinNT/2000 and nothing about 
Win98/95.  attempts to use in on Win98 didn't work.  (using the
other programs mentioned worked just fine so i ended up using
those eventually and all is fine now)


2. when going to report this bug using the section:

http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/ch-administrivia.en.html

---quote---

12.2 Contributing to This Document
If you have problems or suggestions regarding this document, you should probably submit them as a bug report against the package boot-floppies. See the bug or reportbug package or read the online documentation of the Debian Bug Tracking System.  [...]

---endquote---

  note that the package name is boot-floppies, but on the actual:

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages

  page the package name is boot-floppy (so if the above doesn't
work i did try, but selected the name with the more recent use).


3. while trying to find the version of the pseudo-package to 
put in the second line above i had to go look in some rather 
odd places (and a search on the packages didn't find what 
sounded like the right version either -- eventually i tracked 
it down via the list that i subscribe to (boot) and i hope 
it's the right one (the images i used were downloaded 5/27/02 
so i think they're the current ones).  well anyways it would
have been helpful to have those pseudo-packages and the versions
listed in the package lists that i searched (only one showed
in "stable" and it was a further along version) or to have the
various versions available show up in 

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages

  or something that would be easily found.


  ant  (much thanks again  (and hoping this msg actually works))

I'm closing these bugs because install-doc was the documentation for the
boot-floppies, which have reached end of life.

Current installation documentation is in the debian-installer-manual
package. If you think that your documentation issue is still not
adequately covered in the sarge installer manual, please reopen your bug
report and reassign it to debian-installer-manual.
