<para>In order to increase the maintainability of this document, we use a
|
| 17 |
number of SGML features, such as entities and marked sections. These
|
| 18 |
play a role akin to variables and conditionals in programming
|
| 19 |
languages. The SGML source to this document contains information for
|
| 20 |
each different architecture — marked sections are used to isolate
|
| 21 |
certain bits of text as architecture-specific.</para>

<para>If you have problems or suggestions regarding this document, you
|
| 31 |
should probably submit them as a bug report against the package
|
| 32 |
<classname>installer</classname>. See the <classname>reportbug</classname> package
|
| 33 |
or read the online documentation
|
| 34 |
of the <ulink url="http://bugs.debian.org/">Debian Bug Tracking System</ulink>.
|
| 35 |
It would be nice if you could check the
|
| 36 |
<ulink url="http://bugs.debian.org/installer">open bugs against install-doc</ulink>
|
| 37 |
to see whether your problem has already been reported. If so, you can supply additional corroboration or
|
| 38 |
helpful information to <email><replaceable>XXXX</replaceable>
|
| 39 |
@bugs.debian.org</email>, where<replaceable>XXXX</replaceable>
|
| 40 |
is the number for the already-reported bug.

<para>Better yet, get a copy of the DocBook source for this document, and
|
| 44 |
produce patches against it. The DocBook source can be found at the
|
| 45 |
<ulink url="http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/doc/manual/">debian-installer CVSWeb</ulink>. If you're not familiar with DocBook, don't worry:
|
| 46 |
there is a simple cheatsheet in the manuals directory that will get
|
| 47 |
you started. It's like html, but oriented towards the meaning of
|
| 48 |
the text rather than the presentation. Patches submitted to the
|
| 49 |
debian-boot mailing list (see below) are welcomed.
