- Yes, the documentation has some serious problems. First, it lacks an intro-
- duction section that describes partitions and boot sectors. Second, although
- there are many possible configurations, only a few of them fit nicely into
- each setup. The documentation should describe the setups and give more
- specific examples for the configurations. Third, parts of the README are
- slightly outdated. Fourth, there are probably more.
-
- My plan is to split the documentation into three parts: a CHANGES file
- (already done as of alpha.4), a README file that contains the bare
- minimum of instructions and a LaTeX document that describes the rest.
- Probably plus a man-page as soon as I've re-arranged my partitions and
- installed groff.
-
- I hope to get this done until next weekend.
