Ce manuel a été créé pour l'installateur de la distribution sarge ; il est tiré du manuel des boot-floppies de la distribution woody, lequel était basé sur d'autres manuels d'installation de Debian, et du manuel de la distribution Progeny publié sous GPL en 2003.
Voici la liste des contributeurs aux deux anciens manuels ainsi que ceux du nouveau manuel. Si vous avez été oublié, faites-le savoir.
