[Typo3-debian] Debian manual ready for comments/improvements and proofreading

[Jean-Marie Schweizer]

Hi Lars

First, I want to thank you for your effort by making this documentation. 
I thought it to be a great idea to have a documentation that starts at 
the very beginning.

Before I give my feedback please consider that I am not debian or apache 
literate. I've been fiddling with Typo3 installation by hand on a debian 
system and so far just changed some httpd.conf. and hassled around with 
confixx.

I also work on Mac OS X 10.3.4 and have just one can standing around 
(that's how we call PC's) that needs to run some windows OS for testing 
websites. So, what I had to do was to install debian with Virtual PC on 
my Mac.

I downloaded the netinstall image at 
http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/woody-i386-1.iso (1st in the list 
at debian.org) and ran Virtual PC with that image.

I used your documentation on and off since not everything was covered in 
your documentation that came up with my installation process but I got 
the partioning right (as you recommended) and I guess eveverything else 
since I was able to apt-get all the necessary packages.

I also updated httpd.conf and php.ini as recommended (although Michael 
Stucki's meta package already does some of the update by itself).

That's pretty much how far I have come. Now your documentation goes to 
fast for me and I will have to consult other documentations about how to 
setup apache and mysql so I can continue with the Typo3 installer.

Lacking the linux knowledge I wouldn't even know how to access the 
debian through Virtual PC from my Mac OS.

So I think your documentation is a pretty good start. It gave me the 
kick to try a debian installation by myself but then it really is just 
for more experienced people that already know a lot about apache etc. As 
for me as a rookie I'm pretty much stuck. without consulting any more 
documentation.
