Please find below my notes while proofreading the installation manual
(i386/English):
In some cases, I have a doubt about correct use of English and there
are great chances that I'm wrong..:-)
./hardware/supported-peripherals.xml:at all. This precludes its being used for free software, since free
"it being used"
/install-methods/tftp/dhcp.xml:# (access to the internet for instance)
./post-install/mail-setup.xml:<term>internet site</term>
./using-d-i/modules/choose-mirror.xml: (either local or the internet).
./using-d-i/using-d-i.xml:over the internet.

those of the GNOME or KDE desktop environments; alternatives
include xfce4, icewm and wmaker, but there are others to choose
from.
The brand new CFCE graphical environment could be mentioned here
./preparing/non-debian-partitioning.xml:If none of the above apply, you'll need to partition your hard disk before
Not sure whether this should be "applies" or "apply"
