The attached diffs correct some parts of install.html, mainly the munged multiprocessor section, a couple repetitions and typos. These diffs are relative to
http://www.debian.org/2.0/install.html The version at ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/install.html has additional errors which have already been corrected in the www version. Tim.99c99 <

4.13 Multiple ProcessorsWe have several reports that Debian runs well (and very fast)on systems with two (or more) Pentium, Pentium Pro, or Pentium II processors on the same motherboard. To take advantage of multipleprocessors, you'll have to install the kernel-source packageand then re-compile the kernel with symmetric multiprocessing supportenabled. At this time (kernel version 2.0.33) the way you enable thatis to edit the top-level Makefile for the kernel and un-comment the linethat says "SMP = 1". If you compile software on a multiprocessor system, look for the "-j" flag in the documentation on "make".
