Package: debian-installer-manual Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.3
Section C.4 of the Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide is based on notes I wrote for performing a chroot installation of Debian under an existing GNU/Linux system. The current version of the manual has modified this work, but is still clearly based on the documents I wrote originally in 1999, and further ammended in 2002 and continue to maintain, with most recent modifications in May, 2004: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/install-under-chroot.html http://kmself.home.netcom.com/GNU/Linux/FAQs/DebianChrootInstall.html http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DebianChrootInstall The terms for distribution of my work is clearly stated: © 2002-2004 Karsten M.
