Ok. Moreover, when thinking about this implementation, I'm quite uncomfortable with adding such paragraph into the "Using individual components" section, since this "change-init-system part" is no "installer component" like the others in this section (say: there is no 'change-init-system udeb'). Therefore, I would be in favor of adding a separate section for such things as section 6.5 after the "Loading missing firmware" section, like this: ====snip================================== diff --git a/build/templates/docstruct.ent b/build/templates/docstruct.ent index dd3e8d273..81702c32d 100644 --- a/build/templates/docstruct.ent +++ b/build/templates/docstruct.ent @@ -126,6 +126,8 @@ <!ENTITY module-pkgsel.xml SYSTEM "##SRCPATH##/using-d-i/modules/pkgsel.xml"> <!ENTITY loading-firmware.xml SYSTEM "##SRCPATH##/using-d-i/loading-firmware.xml"> + <!ENTITY misc-adaptions.xml SYSTEM "##SRCPATH##/using-d-i/misc-adaptions.xml"> + <!-- No longer used; should be removed after translation updates --> <!ENTITY module-mips-arcboot-installer.xml SYSTEM "##SRCPATH##/using-d-i/modules/mips/arcboot-installer.xml"> <!ENTITY module-mipsel-colo-installer.xml SYSTEM "##SRCPATH##/using-d-i/modules/mipsel/colo-installer.xml"> diff --git a/en/using-d-i/using-d-i.xml b/en/using-d-i/using-d-i.xml index 3561ced2d..fe9c4628e 100644 --- a/en/using-d-i/using-d-i.xml +++ b/en/using-d-i/using-d-i.xml @@ -446,6 +446,7 @@ report installer software problems to &debian; developers later. &using-d-i-components.xml; &loading-firmware.xml; +&misc-adaptions.xml; </chapter> ====snap================================== Plus adding a new file en/using-d-i/misc-adaptions.xml: +<!-- retain these comments for translator revision tracking --> +<!-- $Id$ --> + + <sect1 id="misc-adaptions"> + <title>Miscellaneous adaptions</title> +<para> +You may make custom adaptions of the installation process, to make it fit +your needs: +</para> + + <sect2><title>Installing an alternative init system</title> +<para> +&debian; uses systemd as its default init system.
