Bug#631124: www.debian.org/CD/netinst/index.wml: Information about supported internet connections outdated
Package: www.debian.org
Tags: patch
I found on www.debian.org/CD/netinst/index.wml this info:
-----------------------------------------------------------
What types of network connections are supported during installation?
The network install assumes that you have a connection to the Internet
either using analogue PPP dial-up or using an ethernet connection.
This may be through a PCMCIA adapter on laptops. Internal (PCI) ISDN
cards and WLAN cards are not supported — sorry!
-----------------------------------------------------------
This paragraph is very misleading, since one can assume, that you
need to have an PCMCIA card to perform an netinst installation.
But this is not true, you can use:
- onboard or PCI serial port (for PPP modem connection)
- onboard or ISA or PCI or PCMCIA ethernet port (for DSL connection)
- onboard or PCI or PCMCIA WLAN adapters (for DSL connections via
WLAN router, but with restrictions)
- probably more?
So I would propose the following:
--- CD_netinst_index-orig.wml 2011-02-01 03:29:21.000000000 +0100
+++ CD_netinst_index-workingcopy.wml 2011-06-04 20:27:00.000000000 +0200

+Internet. Various different ways are supported for this, like
+analogue PPP dial-up, ethernet, WLAN (with some restrictions), but
+ISDN is not — sorry!</p>
