Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide
(etch, S/390 architecture, English)
Chapter 3, Before Installing Debian GNU/Linux Section 3.3, Information You Will Need
Topic 3.3.1, Documentation
Subtopic 3.3.1.3 S/390 Hardware References URL:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/s390/ch03s03.html.en

First of all, reference is made to kernel 2.4 instead of kernel 2.6.

"Installation instructions and device drivers (DASD, XPRAM, Console, tape, z90 crypto, chandev, network) for Linux on S/390 using kernel 2.4".

Since etch uses a 2.6.18 kernel, the above reference to kernel 2.4 should be changed to a reference to kernel 2.6.

Second, the first bullet point is entitled, "Device Drivers and Installation Commands". The name of the document has been changed. It is now called, "Device Drivers, Features, and Commands". This name change should be reflected in the bullet point.

Thirdly, this bullet point is also a hypertext link, with an associated URL name of
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/linux390/docu/l390dd08.pdf.  This URL does not exist; and if one clicks on the link one is redirected to
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/, which is a web page on the general topic of IBM open source software, but is not the desired document. I have been able to find the correct document at the following URL:
http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/dw/linux390/docu/l26cdd02.pdf.
