I am afraid this is the shortcoming of debiandoc-sgml which generates the text and html versions.

I also plan to heavily modify the bootdisk install instructions. From my experience with helping people on #debian and debian-user, the instructions are not clear enough. Another thing I want to add is a section describing PPP setup (or maybe at least point to relevant docs) since it seems to be the most frequently asked newbie question. Any more suggestions?
