Last check: 02. May 2004
Feel free to add/delete new/obsolete items as needed.
1. Yet to write:
================
en/module/
Describe each installer module (this is why the book is written)
Ability to install from PLIP?
en/tech-info/
Information on how to customize your own boot floppy, what needs to
be compiled into the kernel. Some info can be reused from the old
manual and from the debian-installer/doc/docbook/kernel-policy.xml
file.
rescue-replace-kernel
Document how to make a replacement kernel for special needs.
2. Update and proofread:
========================
There are still various small left-overs all over the manual (like
mentioning various kernel flavors based on 2.2 kernels [hardware/*,
install-methods/downloading-files.xml, boot-installer/i386.xml].
We have to rename image names according to the new archive order.
Above is true especially for non-i386 architectures, volunteers needed!
en/partitioning/
General facts should stay there, but *concrete* steps from
installation should be moved into en/module/part*.xml.
en/partitioning/device-names.xml:
Install system uses devfs, so device names are different
en/boot-installer/i386.xml
Tell more how to boot for TFTP for the various systems.
Mostly a pointer to further documentation of the system,
but now the user knows where to look for.
2.1. Broken things
en/welcome/doc-organization.xml
The &url-install-manual; link is broken and results in a bad sentence.
Missing documentation on building d-i from source. There is a commented
out sentence that linked to an old boot-floppy-techinfo document.
3. Create reasonable build system
=================================
Currently there is just whacky wow-i-can-get-html-out-of-it build
system in ./build directory.
3.1 build related items
-----------------------
Move doc/manual/validate.sh to the doc/manual/build directory.
Move doc/manual/doc-check to the doc/manual/build directory.
Aviod other scripts in the top doc/manual directory.
