When I first saw Debian Squeeze I had no previous contact with
*nix. Pursuing documentation I found that Linux in general, and
Debian in particular encouraged customization for the job at hand.
Recalling some initial problems I had discovering information I
wanted and finding that I had unknowingly given a strong sales
pitch to a fellow senior citizen, I decided to take notes on
installing Jessie as if I was a raw newbie.
These are the beginning of my notes.
Would this be of value to the Debian project?
This deals with one portion of the website, would the correct
procedure be a single bug report or multiple? If multiple, how to
determine just how finely to divide things?
I. https://www.debian.org/doc/
A. Quick start - "Release Notes, for people who are upgrading"
I though I'd seen reference on fora that everyone should
look at the release notes.
B. Manuals specific to Debian - Developers' manuals -
"Introduction to i18n"
Should have a more descriptive label?
C. Internally inconsistent links
1. line 57
<li><a
href="../releases/stable/installmanual">Installation Guide</a></li>
***{link points to list of installation manual for several
architectures of stable}
line 94
<li><a href="user-manuals#install">Debian Installation
Guide</a></li>
***{link points to general and historical information}
2. line 58
<li><a href="manuals/debian-faq/">Debian GNU/Linux
FAQ</a></li>
line 93
<li><a href="user-manuals#faq">Debian GNU/Linux
FAQ</a></li>
***{links _APPEAR_ to eventually point to the same content}
3. lines 66,67
<li><a href="../releases/stable/releasenotes">Release
Notes</a>,
for people who are upgrading</li>
***{points to list of stable's release notes for multiple
architectures, multiple
languages}
line 95
<li><a href="user-manuals#relnotes">Debian Release
Notes</a></li>
***{page includes link to
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes}
D. Externally inconsistent links
https://www.debian.org/ lines 105-112
105 <li><a href="doc/">Documentation</a>
106 <ul>
107 <li><a href="./releases/">Release Info</a></li>
108 <li><a
href="./releases/stable/installmanual">Installation manual</a></li>
109 <li><a href="doc/books">Debian Books</a></li>
110 <li><a
href="https://wiki.debian.org/";>Debian Wiki</a></li>
111 </ul>
112 </li>
which doesn't quite match https://www.debian.org/doc/
II. https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/
A. http://validator.w3.org/ reports "No DOCTYPE Declaration
could be found or
recognized in this document."
B. I personally prefer the page layout and font used in
https://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/i386/. I find the
black borders and font
face used distracting.
