That's what it seemed like -- I figured something was wrong. Your URLs 
should be quite useful there, though. :-)

That's a very good point, actually. I'm thinking that logical sections would 
be: 

1) CD Burning
2) Where's the files? (i.e. where to get a kernel/world)
3) Setting up NFS/DHCP/etc
4) Miscellani 

Those are just off the top of my head, so any futher thoughts would be 
appreciated.
