+<title>&debian; Installation Guide</title>

+<abstract>
+<para>
+This document contains installation instructions for the &debian;
+&release; system (codename <quote>&releasename;</quote>),
+for the &arch-title; (<quote>&architecture;</quote>)
+architecture.  It also contains pointers to more information and
+information on how to make the most of your new Debian system.

+<warning condition="not-checked"><para>
+This installation guide is based on an earlier manual written for
+the old Debian installation system (the <quote>boot-floppies</quote>), and has
+been updated to document the new Debian installer. However, for
+&architecture;, the manual has not been fully updated and fact checked
+for the new installer. There may remain parts of the manual that are
+incomplete or outdated or that still document the boot-floppies
+installer. A newer version of this manual, possibly better documenting
+this architecture, may be found on the Internet at the
+<ulink url="&url-d-i;">&d-i; home page</ulink>. You may also be able
+to find additional translations there.

+<note condition="checked"><para>
+Although this installation guide for &architecture; is mostly up-to-date,
+we plan to make some changes and reorganize parts of the manual after the
+official release of &releasename;. A newer version of this manual may be
+found on the Internet at the <ulink url="&url-d-i;">&d-i; home page</ulink>.
+You may also be able to find additional translations there.
