The purpose of this document is to stress the advanatges of
planning ahead before installing Linux, and to guide the potential
Linux user past some obstacles that can and do occur as a result of
not planning your first install.

“Most manuals that accompany the commercial Linux distributions
should also contain similar information, but some installation
methods/distributions may decrease the liklihood of having useful
and comprehensive documentation on this topic.”
