<para>

&release; system, for the &arch-title; (<quote>&architecture;</quote>)
architecture.  It also contains pointers to more information and
information on how to make the most of your new Debian system.

<warning arch="not-i386"><para>
This installation manual is based on an earlier manual written for
the old Debian installation system (the "boot-floppies"), and has
been updated to document the new Debian installer. However, for
&architecture;, the manual has not been fully updated and fact checked
for the new installer. There may remain parts of the manual that are
outdated or document the boot-floppies installer. A newer version of
this manual, possibly better documenting this architecture, may be
found on the internet at the <ulink url="&url-d-i;">&d-i; home
page</ulink>. You may also be able to find additional translations there.
</para></warning>

<note arch="i386"><para>
Although this installation manual for &architecture; is mostly up-to-date,
we plan to make some changes and reorganize parts of the manual after the
official release of &releasename;. A newer version of this manual may be
found on the internet at the <ulink url="&url-d-i;">&d-i; home page</ulink>.
You may also be able to find additional translations there.
