The new getting started guide is nice, but there are a few things that could be improved.
In section 5.2.4 Invoke bjam "--toolset=msvc" is used in the example but with auto-linking not working with auto-detecting toolset using it in a guide aimed at new and inexperienced users. I think it would be better to use "--toolset=msvc-8.0" and users who are not running vc2005 can easily substitute "-8.0" with their version.
This is intended to work in RC3
In the same example "stage" is used but never thoroughly explained and loosely hinted that it is only the name of a directory and that you could use any name A better explanation would be something like this: "The last argument to bjam in this example "stage" represent the type of install you will make, the available options is… (Insert options and explanations)"
Thanks, I don't think this needs to be fixed for release, but we should not drop it either.
The link "Boost.Build reference manual" in section 7 is missing index.html and points directly to the directory.
