Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-12 Severity: important
The main documentation index main/disks-*/current/doc/index.html has bad link to the "Release Notes" (it currently links to dists/testing/main/upgrade-i386/ which does not exist). As of now the "Release Notes" seem to be solely residing at http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/release-notes/. * Please *do* copy them into the documentation section so they can be included with the install mediums (there *are* "testing" CDs beeing burned on a quite large scale everywhere) so that people that do only upgrade through CDs etc. do have some infos on them on how to go about it. * Please change the title "Release Notes" in the main index to Upgrade Information and Release Notes. I do have reports of people completely breaking their system (PCMCIA was deinstalled, DHCP was deinstalled, leaving them without a means to download the requiredpackages or without a means to go back) so actually I wanted to report this bug as critical. There were rumours on -devel that one absolutely needs to update apt *first* before doing anything else when doing an upgrade from potato. If this is critical then it absolutely needs to be properly documented and the user *must* come accross that piece of information if he reads the docu which AFAIK is not the case now. * So please document that fact in: http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html In particular, if apt *does* need to be upgraded, then "3.3.1 Upgrading from Pre-Potato Releases or Using CD-ROMs" is completely missleading as one should (as far as I've heard from the rumours) *allways first upgrade apt. *t -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tpo2 2.4.16 #2 Fri Jan 4 18:17:17 CET 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
