1. Yet to write:
|
| 5 |
================
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
en/module/
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Describe each installer module (this is why the book is written)
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Ability to install from PLIP?
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
What about the LVM stuff (it shows up in d-i menu from time to
|
| 14 |
time)?
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
en/tech-info/
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Information on how to customize your own boot floppy, what needs to
|
| 19 |
be compiled into the kernel. Some info can be reused from the old
|
| 20 |
manual and from the debian-installer/doc/docbook/kernel-policy.xml
|
| 21 |
file.
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
en/install-methods/automatic-install.xml
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Write something more that just plain "We can do FAI".
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
en/appendix/files.xml
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In part entitled TBD we need to list more files like it was done in
|
| 30 |
the old manual (if they are needed).
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
en/hardware/
|
| 33 |
en/install-methods/
|
| 34 |
en/boot-installer/
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If booting/installing from USB [stick] (or any other new method)
|
| 37 |
will be supported in the official installer, then we should describe
|
| 38 |
it here.
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
2. Update and proofread:
|
| 42 |
========================
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
There are still various small left-overs all over the manual (like
|
| 45 |
mentioning various kernel flavors based on 2.2 kernels [hardware/*,
|
| 46 |
install-methods/downloading-files.xml, boot-installer/i386.xml]. (Do
|
| 47 |
we have i386 flavors at all?)).
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
We should also shift from the old cruft (like mentioning floppies at
|
| 50 |
the _first_ place, or describe various techniques relative to MS-DOS).
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
en/hardware/network-cards.xml
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Comment states that this list of unsupported cards was completed
|
| 56 |
against kernel-image_2.0.36-2. Ain't that a bit old?
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
en/install-methods/floppy/i386.xml
|
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Do we still have the possibility to create localized rescue floppy?
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
en/partitioning/
|
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
General facts should stay there, but *concrete* steps from
|
| 65 |
installation should be moved into en/module/part*.xml. Also update
|
| 66 |
to d-i way of doing things is needed -- something about partman?
|
| 67 |
("Initialize a linux partition", "Initialize swap" and "Mount
|
| 68 |
a Previously-Initialized Partition" are now done in one step...).
|
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
en/partitioning/device-names.xml:
|
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Install system uses devfs, so device names are different
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
en/boot-new/
|
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Some of this (the bootloader part (up to "The Moment of Truth"?))
|
| 77 |
should really go into en/module/${arch}/*-installer.xml.
|
| 78 |
(Besides, do we have 'Make a Boot Floppy' step)?
|
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
en/welcome/doc-organization.xml
|
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
The partitioning chapter doesn't fit anywhere. Any suggestions?
|
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
3. Create reasonable build system
|
| 86 |
=================================
|
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
Currently there is just whacky wow-i-can-get-html-out-of-it build
|
| 89 |
system in ./build directory.
|
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
3.1 build related items
|
| 92 |
-----------------------
|
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
Move doc/manual/validate.sh to the doc/manual/build directory.
|
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
Move doc/manual/doc-check to the doc/manual/build directory.
|
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
Aviod other scripts in the top doc/manual directory.
