[1] tells me otherwise, for the 'participation' part. I take it that this e-mail I'm replying to is shared among several people, then? > I'll say that the wiki page gave no hint as to which of the three options to > install, or any hint that one might work better than another. The page is describing 'Producing an automated install of a Debian operating system from a USB stick', to quote it. For such an advanced task it can be safely assumed IMO that the person who's implementing the instruction is familiar with the basic concepts of a 'file system' or 'mounting'. It can be argued (again IMO) that the 3 tools proposed are not the best ones available for the task, or downright redundant due to availability of mount(8), but all three mentioned tools are in fact are links to [2]. Broken ones (for me at least), but they are links to manpages for the mentioned tools. Surely a manpage can be viewed as a suitable source of hints you're referring to. > Of course, > until this issue came up, no one may have expected one to work better than > another, so then someone reading that page could, quite appropriately, try one > and not the others, and assume that there was no more useful information on > the page. I agree that the page provides unnecessary choice in this regard, and for the sake of clarity of this topic [3] would be more appropriate. > Someone with a more experimental nature might have tried all three, but, like > I hope I implied, why would anyone expect that to make a difference? Different tools. Different programming languages to implement them. Different dependencies for said tools. Surely all of them should behave exact the same behavior (sarcasm implied). > I guess maybe I'm doing the same thing some others seem to do--belaboring a > point that maybe shouldn't have even come up as issue. > > If someone read the page and didn't find / recognize a key piece of information > on that page, maybe the page could use a revision. I believe you're missing the point here. The page in question is not supposed to provide information on mounting anything as a *key piece* in the first place due to very nature of the topic the page describes. But since such information is in there for some reason, and it's covering *both* mounting and unmounting in a compact enough form - it can be used as an example for mounting and unmounting also.
