Which is somewhat ironic, given that upgrading-checklist starts out as upgrading-checklist.html in the debian-policy source package, and is then stripped of tags to be distributed as a .txt file. It might be nice to distribute it as html and/or fix-up the reference in section 1.2 to point this file. Perhaps the checklist could be referenced as an appendix or the like so that the <ref> tag could be used, and then dwww could easily find it as well. However, I'm not sure whether this is wishlist bug-worthy or not. tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
