12.1 About This Document

This document is written in SGML, using the ``DebianDoc'' DTD. Output formats are generated by programs from the debiandoc-sgml package.

In order to increase the maintainability of this document, we use a number of SGML features, such as entities and marked sections. These play a role akin to variables and conditionals in programming languages. The SGML source to this document contains information for each different architecture — marked sections are used to isolate certain bits of text as architecture-specific.


12.2 Contributing to This Document

If you have problems or suggestions regarding this document, you should probably submit them as a bug report against the package install-doc. See the bug or reportbug package or read the online documentation of the Debian Bug Tracking System. It would be nice if you could check the open bugs against install-doc to see whether your problem has already been reported. If so, you can supply addition corroboration or helpful information to XXXX@bugs.debian.org, where XXXX is the number for the already-reported bug.

Better yet, get a copy of the SGML source for this document, and produce patches against it. The SGML source can be found in the boot-floppies; try to find the newest revision in the unstable distribution. You can also browse the source via CVSweb; for instructions on how to check out the sources via CVS, see README-CVS from the sources.

Please do not contact the authors of this document directly. There is also a discussion list for boot-floppies, which includes discussions of this manual.
