I see no reason to mention the GNU layout explicitly any longer. Additionally
the sentence before are not really correct, so I'd suggest to change it that
way:

Use the --with-layout=[F:]ID option to select a particular installation

or we could actually show the names of the layout available:

I don't like that, since it's harder to maintain (as you see in the current
INSTALL document).

Yep, nobody will remember to update the INSTALL file when a new layout gets added, so please let's be a bit generic here.


Please let me know what you think. I have noe idea of how to make these
changes make it into the acual INSTALL file.

The best way to suggest changes is to use unified diffs. Once you have a CVS
checkout, you can modify the file, 'cvs diff -u', and send it as an attachment
(text/plain).

And, Gustavo, don't forget to read http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/ if you haven't done so until now. Especially http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/docsformat.html and also http://httpd.apache.org/dev/ will be helpful.


Cheers,
Erik
