Here's what happened. I reorganized the information to be more chronological, and I moved all infomration about obtaining system installation files to section 4, Obtaining System Installation Files. The section you remember on installing from a linux system didn't have any other information in it besides 'get the installation system files and put them on a linux partition, not the one you're going to install on'. It then said one could use any valid booting scheme to boot the installation system, and described burning floppies. So it did kind of disappear, because there was nothing unique about it. Perhaps we should mention in section 4.2, what kinds of partitions the installation system files can reside on. There was an idea put forth recently on the list about putting together a wget-able package to install Debian from RH or other linux distro. If that happens, it would deserve its own section, I think. Do you have any other ideas or concerns? -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
