OK.
You know the old debian-tutorial? Last year I start with a
translation. It was and is a very very poor translation, with a lot
of
errors and mistakes.
In the time of the first beta of my german debian-tutorial, John
Goerzen and Ossama Othman make the Debian Guide. This Debian-Guide
combine the install guide and this debian-tutorial. After this,
Havoc
Pennington stopt the development of the debian-tutorial.
Now I have combine the german debian-tutorial with the german
install guide to a german Debian Guide too. But the quality is very
bad.
You can download a (old) pdf-Version from
http://master.debian.org/~grisu/
I have add some chapter and section and I make some updates.
I can mail the tex-sources to you, if you can help with it. If you
have questions, mail.
