reported on ns-3-reviews by svia@cttc.es One comment about the 3.2 Downloading ns-3, specially 3.2.2. In the wiki /Intallation as far as i have seen Bake it's not mentioned, but download using Mercurial... this makes thisgs confusing when you are a new user both from linux and ns-3. Other issue in 3.2.2 : It says it's downloading ns-3.17, but I think it's downloading ns-3-dev. Minor questions, but when you are so new, you get a bit lost. Another question, in the wiki, in the prerequisites, I think it doesn't appear cvs, git and some other. It will be nice to have this section updated.
Fixed the misspelling of ns-3-dev on the ns-3 dev docs repository (not in the web page), and added bake into the wiki.

I agree that this could be rewritten to flow better. I'll leave the bug open until that is done. > > Other issue in 3.2.2 : > It says it's downloading ns-3.17, but I think it's downloading ns-3-dev. This has been fixed (it should be talking about ns-3.17). > Minor > questions, but when you are so new, you get a bit lost.

Daniel added these; again, we need to freshen this page a bit.
I think the suggestions here have been addressed. The Installation page still refers to Mercurial; I filed an issue on GitLab for that. Suggest closing this bug.
