Last check: 11. March 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? What about the LVM stuff (it shows up in d-i menu from time to time)? 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. en/install-methods/automatic-install.xml Write something more that just plain "We can do FAI". en/appendix/files.xml In part entitled TBD we need to list more files like it was done in the old manual (if they are needed). 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. We should also shift from the old cruft (like mentioning floppies at the _first_ place, or describe various techniques relative to MS-DOS). en/hardware/network-cards.xml Comment states that this list of unsupported cards was completed against kernel-image_2.0.36-2. Ain't that a bit old? en/install-methods/floppy/i386.xml Do we still have the possibility to create localized rescue floppy? en/partitioning/ General facts should stay there, but *concrete* steps from installation should be moved into en/module/part*.xml. Also update to d-i way of doing things is needed -- something about partman? ("Initialize a linux partition", "Initialize swap" and "Mount a Previously-Initialized Partition" are now done in one step...). en/partitioning/device-names.xml: Install system uses devfs, so device names are different en/boot-new/ Some of this (the bootloader part (up to "The Moment of Truth"?)) should really go into en/module/${arch}/*-installer.xml. (Besides, do we have 'Make a Boot Floppy' step)? en/welcome/doc-organization.xml The partitioning chapter doesn't fit anywhere. Any suggestions? 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. 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. Fix the non-fatal build errors: Error: no ID for constraint linkend: boot-floppy-techinfo. Error: no ID for constraint linkend: rescue-replace-kernel. Error: no ID for constraint linkend: rescue-replace-kernel. Error: no ID for constraint linkend: rescue-replace-kernel. Error: no ID for constraint linkend: rescue-replace-kernel. Error: no ID for constraint linkend: rescue-replace-kernel.
