AIUI index.html is just a conventional name for the landing page when you demand a domainname or directory without any filename. As for indexes, well, that takes work, so who's going to do it? People make a living as freelance indexers. OTOH, logically, TOCs write themselves as part of the process of designing a document, and physically, they should be easy to generate from chapter/section headings, while it is processed for publication. > My current goal to multi-boot my primary machine without clobbering > existing valuable data (even if that data has been backed-up). > > *A* current question is how to install a "dual-boot" or "multi-boot" > system. Debian users make a strong distinction between the two. I don't see any defining difference between the two terms (beyond obviously not using the former where there are more than two installations).
