Hi, Good work ! (I'm not just talking about the release notes ;).
You probably picked you word carefully, but still, let me do some bike shedding and play the role of the idiot ;) I guess you already had some discussions on whether it should be emphasized that "Etch-n-Half is _not_ like any other point release because it adds hardware support". (At the same time, I understand that we want to emphasize it's like any Debian point release : "It's stable ; It won't break your system ; It was designed on `opt-in` not `opt-out` fashion").

Is it supposed to be introduced in another page ? * Regarding the ipw3945d to iwl3945 transition, is the problem http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi#wlan0_rename likely to occur ? If yes, it might deserve a note/link. > http://people.debian.org/~fjp/tmp/etchnhalf/ * "is essentially just the most recent point release for etch" Of course this will have to be updated once 4.0r5 is released but I like the phrasing otherwise. Let me rephrase this as a question : Is EtchnHalf equal to 4.0r4 or is it any Etch>=4.0r4 with some updated driver ? * "[use] the current release of Debian Installer for lenny" Do qe really mean "current", or the "beta 2" ? * Can we add some hints to explain why netinst seems the best the pick, but it's only available for amd64 and i386. Finally, I would like to reuse/refactor the wiki page EtchAndAHalf to list FAQ/Frequent problem, à la Sarge2EtchUpgrade. As usually, links to official release notes would be available at the top of the page to avoid duplication of content. It could be linked from DebianInstaller/BrokenThings, and/or from the main release notes (since it isn't only for hardware).
