Hi Holger, and thanks for the proposed patch!

The x86 part is likely correct… at least I was considering defaulting to graphical on (Linux) amd64 and i386 only. From a quick look it seems we have a netboot-gtk target for: amd64 armel (kirkwood only) armhf hurd-i386 (not released, who cares) i386 kfreebsd-amd64 powerpc (both powerpc and powerpc64) Additionally we have a cdrom_gtk target for: amd64 hurd-i386 i386 kfreebsd-amd64 Now, hurd-i386 doesn't need caring about; kfreebsd-* architectures are looking quite badly already, so I won't change anything on those right now. I expect arm* people to tell us whether any change is needed for those, but since I see no menu anyway… This lefts us with powerpc which has no menu either. => This means amd64 + i386 only, unless I'm missing something? > +</para><para arch="powerpc"> > + > +For &arch-title;, currently only an experimental <quote>mini</quote> ISO > +image is available<footnote id="gtk-miniiso"> > + > +<para> > +The mini ISO image can be downloaded from a &debian; mirror as described > +in <xref linkend="downloading-files"/>. > +Look for <filename>netboot/gtk/mini.iso</filename>. > +</para> > + > +</footnote>.

I'd have to check an actual installation image under emulation, maybe; but I'm a bit too lazy for this right now. Worst case we could ping debian-powerpc@ to make sure. > +<note><para> > + > +The graphical installer requires significantly more memory to run than > +the regular installer: &minimum-memory-gtk;.

This was just a cursory reading, but the rest looks fine. Hopefully you'll get some more review. At least Steve was interested in seeing this happen, and he's a native speaker as well. :-) Mraw, KiBi.
