Well, my day yesterday did not go as planned and I did not get back to this. What, if anything, needs to be done with respect to Marcia's Debian Install Guide? I looked through it and everything looks right, though I do not have the commands all memorized, so there could possibly be an error. It would be good to give other people a chance to review documents before posting them but it is simple enough to review such a short document now. We are all developing the process and learning as we go, so we should expect some hiccups.
Keith - do you have any comments on Marcia's email? Marcia - are you willing to give any more feedback about how to improve what we are doing? I am keeping this message on the docs list, since I do not think general members of the dev list will want to see a detailed discussion. Feel free to correct me on that.
