+This document is written in DocBook XML.  Output formats are generated
+by various programs using information from the
+<classname>docbook-xml</classname> and
+<classname>docbook-xsl</classname> packages.
+
+</para><para>
+
+In order to increase the maintainability of this document, we use
+a number of XML features, such as entities and profiling attributes.
+These play a role akin to variables and conditionals in programming
+languages.  The XML source to this document contains information for
+each different architecture &mdash; profiling attributes are used to
+isolate certain bits of text as architecture-specific.

+Better yet, get a copy of the DocBook source for this document, and
+produce patches against it.  The DocBook source can be found at the
+<ulink url="&url-d-i-cvsweb;">debian-installer CVSWeb</ulink>. If
+you're not familiar with DocBook, don't worry:
+there is a simple cheatsheet in the manuals directory that will get
+you started. It's like html, but oriented towards the meaning of 
+the text rather than the presentation. Patches submitted to the 
+debian-boot mailing list (see below) are welcomed.
+For instructions on how to check out the sources via CVS, see
+<ulink url="&url-d-i-readme;">README</ulink>
