Re: testing group -- please test the documentation
===== A =====
Thank you for your letter, pleased to be to any help.
===== B =====
I think the term memory module should stand the test of time, technology
terms like SIMM and DIMM seems to be replaced over time making the
document sounds old.
===== C =====
dbootstrap is fine with me though the binary is still called dinstall.
I just didn't understood the connection.
===== D =====
kbdconfig might be the command we are looking for, it's undocumented but
it let you choose which keyboard layout you want as default on the
console. Sorry to say, /usr/doc/kbd is not for the beginner.

I'd say it is non-intuitive. And we should inform the user about the
current behavior. Yes.
===== F =====
No, I can't help you with that right now.
===== G =====
Ok, I'm to used to installing kernel packages from dselect.
Still, why not skip the /usr/local/src from the tar command line, you
already cd'd there.
Cheers,
