AIUI index.html is just a conventional name for the landing page
when you demand a domainname or directory without any filename.

True. Isn't it just very annoying when the *real world* just doesn't conform to what *should be* ;/


As for indexes, well, that takes work, so who's going to do it?
People make a living as freelance indexers.

Maybe I can approximate a "proper index" with something that might be described as a "specialized concordance"

I did DuckDuckGo searches for the terms within the square brackets:
[ "document" "indexing" "tool" ]
[ "document" "indexing" "tool" "foss" ]
[ "document" "vocabulary" "word frequency" ]
[ "sklearn" ]
Reading just what DuckDuckGo displayed suggested a path.
Follow some links and one chain of links was encouraging.
Synaptic reports that sklearn related modules are available.
I need to successfully install a more current Debian to follow-up.
More later if fruitful.


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).

I've long thought so. You and other recent posts agree.


Cheers,
David.
