Hello,

Thanks for your report, I have fixed a few things, and here are some
comments.

Well, doesn't the text on this page say:

“For example, to create an ext3 file system on partition /dev/hda6
(that's our example root partition):”

i.e. explicitly ext3?

These are really old indeed.  One could argue that a user might still be
installing from a very old chroot, but well :) I've left just one.

Right.  It'll however be useful to also document the proper way to get
it from the web.  Anybody knows the truth there?

Oops.  I have rephrased that. One does not really need to install
adjtime, one can simply create the file.

Really?  When I tried, I was not proposed the locale and keyboard
configuration choices, due to debconf priority.

I'm not sure whether we want to document this.
