Hello, The d-www@l.d.o list was alerted that the information on your port page was outdated. I have done a basic update of the page as shown below. Please review. My feeling is that other information on the page may be outdated/obsolete as well. It would be nice if someone more familiar with the port and its history could review. http://www.debian.org/ports/s390/ Cheers, FJP Index: index.wml =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/webwml/webwml/english/ports/s390/index.wml,v retrieving revision 1.24 diff -u -r1.24 index.wml --- index.wml 31 Jan 2003 14:44:39 -0000 1.24 +++ index.wml 11 Aug 2005 21:39:06 -0000 @@ -5,20 +5,21 @@ <h2>Status</h2> -<p>S/390 is now a supported Debian architecture! </p> +<p>S/390 has been an officially supported Debian architecture since the release +of Debian 3.0 (woody).</p> -<p>The normal Debian channels for acquiring installation media should -have S/390 available shortly, now that Debian 3.0 (woody) is released.</p> +<p>For instructions on installing Debian, see the +<a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/s390/">Installation Guide</a>. +Unfortunately for Sarge it is not possible to ipl the installation system off +an installation CD, but several other installation methods are supported.
