One concern I have about the intro material (which is quite nice BTW) is that it is now even i386-centric than the old text. Do you think this will be a problem? I spent a bit of time trying to accomodate the alpha folks in re-organizing the INSTALL.TXT file. I was hoping that the "Pre-Installation Tasks" section in the Handbook and Installation document in the release documentation would be able to continue sharing common text, but I'm not sure how hard that will be now. I wonder if we'll wind up with entirely separate installation documents for each architecture in the release documentation... Cheers, Bruce. PS. The organization of INSTALL.TXT is horrible, mostly from my cut-and-paste job. I'm going to take a shot at fixing it over the next few days if possible. PPS.
