===== A ===== Thank you for your letter, pleased to be to any help. ===== B ===== I think the term memory module should stand the test of time, technology terms like SIMM and DIMM seems to be replaced over time making the document sounds old.
===== C ===== dbootstrap is fine with me though the binary is still called dinstall. I just didn't understood the connection. ===== D ===== kbdconfig might be the command we are looking for, it's undocumented but it let you choose which keyboard layout you want as default on the console. Sorry to say, /usr/doc/kbd is not for the beginner. ===== E ===== > >7.8 ``Initialize a Linux Partition'' > >It is easy to miss /usr etc. part. I'd say it is non-intuitive. And we should inform the user about the current behavior. Yes. ===== F ===== No, I can't help you with that right now. ===== G ===== Ok, I'm to used to installing kernel packages from dselect. Still, why not skip the /usr/local/src from the tar command line, you already cd'd there.

Enrique, is this a bug on boot-floppies? ===== D ===== > >> 7.3 ``Configure the Keyboard'' > Oh, I guess I should point them to the relevant package, which I > *think* is ``kbd''.
