I remember one of the ideas was to possibly have a pocket book, where
the Installation chapter would list what happens when everything goes
well and point to other sources for expert usage and troubleshooting.

If noone intends to make a printed version anymore, then I think that
what you say makes a lot of sense.  Maybe we could forget about the
install section at the moment, and put it in only when someone considers
printing it for real.

Seconded: I think that's needed, and could probably be covered in the
chapter about Synaptic, possibly xrefing to it from the introduction.


Ciao,
