I tend to agree and it's something I've thought about in relation to the dist/* directories: keep the main INSTALL file relatively generic and move the distribution specific information to the dist/* directories, with a note in that main INSTALL file advising to check those directories for whatever distribution specific information is available. For instance; something I've already been thinking about is moving the Debian lenny specific install instructions (like packages to use, etc) to something like INSTALL.lenny in the dists/deb directory (not sure how long it should be kept...), also referring there back to the main INSTALL file for more general information. It would seem that the Debian squeeze information in the INSTALL file may also be out of sync with the current versions of the LSMB; but rather than updating that in the main INSTALL file, also move that to something like dists/deb/INSTALL.squeeze. (And the same could be done for ubuntu...) Jame ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
