What about translating the Installation Manual to different languages?
Does the system you are using support two discreet sets of
conditionals?
Anyway, if there are plans to do translations of the Installation
Manual, I could do the Finnish translation (I'm a native finnish
speaker).
I don't have access to any of those architectures you asked for, but
if there are installation instructions for Sparc or UltraSparc I could
do some testing on those. I have written in SGML previously, both
using DebianDoc SGML and DocBook.
