This page contains the development version of the Installation Guide for the Debian Installer. This page is primairily targeted at writers and translators of the manual.
The official version of the Installation Guide for Etch can be found on the Etch release pages. This version is updated regularly if changes are made in the Guide that apply to the current official release of the installer.
The version of the manual available from this page also includes documentation of post-Etch changes to Debian Installer. This means that it reflects the daily builds of the installer. However, some changes may not yet be documented.
A large part of the Guide was copied from the old installation guide for Woody.
Some parts still need to be updated and some parts should to be restructured
and/or rewritten to improve readability.
The main parts that need to be updated are chapters 2 to 5.
The second concern is that the information for some architectures is outdated and/or not reviewed for Debian Installer. This is indicated by a warning at the beginning of the manual.
The table below lists the more important changes in the manual in reverse order.
Note: this table is only meant as a help to translators; there is no guarantee it
is complete or up to date.

The first table shows how much of the manual has been translated for languages that directly translate the XML files. The second table shows the statistics for languages using PO files for their translation.
The column 'Files needing update' gives a rough indication of whether the translation is up to date. More detailed statistics – created by Jordà Polo – are also available.
