Description of problem:

On the screen that says "Welcome to Red Hat Linux", in the Anaconda help text
on the left of the screen, the following sentences are to be found :

"there is also an html copy on the cd set".
                |
                |-> the "n" does not belong here!


"if you have purchased an boxed set, be sure to register your .. "
                        |
                        |-> the "n" does not belong here!


"Throughout this installation, you will be able to use your .. "
                             |
                             |-> the "," does not belong here!
                                           ( I think .. not so sure .. )

Additional info:

Comment 1 Peter van Egdom 2002-08-04 21:18:36 UTC
There is also a typo to be found in the Anaconda help text on the
'Graphical Interface X Configuration' screen :

 "Although, the installation program probes to determine .. "
          |
          +-> the "," does not belong here!

   (and maybe the word "probes" should be replaced by "tries")



Comment 2 Peter van Egdom 2002-08-04 21:34:05 UTC
Another typo can be found at the 'Network Configuration' screen :

  "if you system ... "
         |
         |-> There should be a "r", followed by a space, here.

(not sure anymore if this was in Anaconda, or Anaconda-help).


Comment 3 Sandra Moore 2002-08-05 13:40:06 UTC
Thanks for the feedback.

Using "an HTML" is correct, since HTML is an acronym and you pronounce each
letter and the H begins with a vowel sound when it is pronounced.

"an boxed set" should be "an official boxed set" -- fixed in CVS for next release.

Comma has been removed from the "Throughout this installation..." phrase. --
fixed in CVS for next release.

Comma has been removed from the "Although the installation program..." phrase in
the Graphical Interface (X) configuration screen. -- fixed in CVS for next release.

"if you system ... " has been changed to "if your system" -- fixed in CVS for
next release.

Thanks again for your help in identifying these problems.

Best regards,
Sandra
