more comments/corrections on the FAQ
Having a good close read of parts of the FAQ today. Here's some more
suggestions, clarifications, and corrections to minor factual issues.
---
3.1 On what architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?
A port to Sparc-64 is also underway (doesn't seem to be on the main
archive in any form, for some reason).
---
3.2 What hardware is assumed by the stock Debian GNU/Linux boot disks?
The configuration file used to build Debian GNU/Linux' standard
distribution kernel assumes a 386 CPU, and includes support for PCMCIA
cards SCSI cards for which there exist Linux drivers. Support for
^^^
and
network interface card is provided by loadable modules, so there is no
need to compile these drivers into the kernel.
---
3.3 What amount of disk space is recommended?
A few paras down you say:
These minimal requirements are sufficient for a system without X11 and
only 1 or 2 users:
* 22 MBytes of disk space for the base system; this provides a
minimally-functioning Unix system, but includes no application
programs and no network support.
It's not quite true that there is *no* network support. It's more
like 'minimal network support'.
