Ah, thx, I did find this which matches up with the default guidanced in the
setting up the disk secition::

/etc/fstabA full /etc/fstab example

/dev/sda2   /boot        ext2    defaults,noatime     0 2
/dev/sda3   none         swap    sw                   0 0
/dev/sda4   /            ext4    noatime              0 1
/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom   auto    noauto,user          0 0


But, I guess I was not clear in proposing this as a bug. There should be a
clickable link to jump ahead to that section (just above that you
mentioned). But even more problematic the minimal_CD leaves the fresh
install with what I listed below::

I guess I was just expecting the minimal CD to match the handbook. So is
that a bug?  Is the missing link between the boot portion of the fstab
and the full fstab example a bug too? An enhancement

(yes, I did not see the full fstab in the subsequent section so thanks for
point that out.

Comments on if either if these are a bug?
