Revision 5236 - Directory Listing
Added Wed Oct 22 14:43:55 2003 UTC (9 years, 7 months ago) by toff
Original Path: trunk/doc/manual/en/boot-installer

Added section for booting the installer. In the old manual, this became
very confusing because there is more arch-dependent info than generic
info. So I changed the structure for this chapter to be mostly organized
by arch.

Unfortunately, it is in _very_ rough shape, and won't validate. I thought
it would be better to start getting content out there, and maybe somebody
can help clean the xml up.
