Bug#703246: A review of http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/apds03.html.en
Hello,
Thanks for your report, I have fixed a few things, and here are some
comments.

Well, doesn't the text on this page say:
“For example, to create an ext3 file system on partition /dev/hda6
(that's our example root partition):”
i.e. explicitly ext3?

These are really old indeed. One could argue that a user might still be
installing from a very old chroot, but well :) I've left just one.

Right. It'll however be useful to also document the proper way to get
it from the web. Anybody knows the truth there?

Oops. I have rephrased that. One does not really need to install
adjtime, one can simply create the file.

Really? When I tried, I was not proposed the locale and keyboard
configuration choices, due to debconf priority.

I'm not sure whether we want to document this.
