Bug#283521: no pointer to manual in syslinux screens
Package: debian-installer Version: rc2 Severity: normal Hello, AFAIK is the manual still at alioth, that is probably the place where HEAD stays. When it moves to http://www.nl.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual then can the syslinux screens, f*.txt, tell about it. Cheers Geert Stappers signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Since there is a prominent link to the manual on the navigation bar on the front page, I think this is sufficient. Of course it won't be the sarge manual until sarge is released. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi, The help screens point to http://www.debian.org/ for the manual. Since there is a prominent link to the manual on the navigation bar on the front page, I think this is sufficient. Of course it won't be the sarge manual until sarge is released. I dont think it's sufficient :-) Be nice to users, please point them to http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual - which even might be to confusing to some anyway ;-) I don't think a link in the 20th row in a crowded navigation bar is as prominent as it could be: direct. Dealing with computers in general for some people holds many obstactles, we shouldn't unnecessarily add more. regards, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
