Hi, I'm updating the Romanian translation for the CD/faq and I have a few comments/suggestions to the English version: http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#netinst [...] which has a cheap Internet connection [...] May I suggest s/a cheap/an adequate/ here since the cost of the internet connection is not too relative. Probably, some information about the data to be downloaded would be more helpful instead, like: "A typical graphical installation without additional packages should download about ..." http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#outdated [...]stable releases only happen about every 1.5 years... I thought stable releases happen about every 2 years. Also, there is no mention of backports in this section. Suggestion: "If you only need newer version of specific packages, you can also try the backports service, which takes packages from testing and modifies them to work on stable. This option is mostly safer than installing the same package directly from testing." http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#record-unix [..] Add option stream_recording=on to get on BD-RE full nominal speed without checkreading. I think it needs some rewording to: "In order to get full nominal speed (but without ...[1]) on BD-RE add option stream_recording=on." [1] I have no idea what checkreading is supposed to mean and vim spell checking is complaining about it. http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#old Note that when you install using an old CD/DVD, the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list will reference the current stable Debian release by default. This means that any upgrade over the net will upgrade to the current stable release. To avoid this, but still receive security upgrades for an old release which is still supported, you may want to change the contents of this file, replacing "stable" with "oldstable". Is this still valid? As far as I know sources.list is now by codename (or was that introduced only for squeeze?). (Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed to -cd) Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
