Hi Francis, -boot was just a short for "debian-boot@lists.debian.org", the address which you sent your mail to. This is the mailing list that's used for Debian Installer development as well as the maintenance of all Debian Installer-related items, such as the Installation Guide. Sorry for being too fast in my aanswer... I think that, if you want to bring help to the Debian Installer team, being subcribed to that mailing list is a requirement. This can be done on Debian lists server, aka http://lists.debian.org. The procesure is quite straightforward, just as it is for most mailing lists. Please be aware that the mailing list has a an important traffic (especially when time comes to prepare releases, etc), around 10-20 messages/day. Following the list traffic (even if not understanding everything) is probably a good way to see how things happened, who is doing what, etc, etc. And, of course, in the list, you can ask whatever question you want about our processes and stuff like this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
