installation guide
by Stuart Ellis 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Thanks to all for the tips. The wording of my original question was probably too vague. I could either put in FIXMEs (this is what I actually meant by placeholders) for the designated screenshotter, or try to do the screenshots as I go. It would definitely be best if one person does all of the screenshots, especially since what I know about the Gimp at the moment probably wouldn't fill the 500x375 rectangle, but I'm not sure if we have a screenshotter to do the work. I've seen custom FIXME tags cause odd-looking results in the output from a Docbook, so it's useful to know that FIXMEs should be written with <remark>.

I've started to write a draft of the "Starting the Installation Program" to see how it goes, and hit the first point requiring a screenshot. How should "needs screenshot" be marked ? Should I put in a screenshot (which can be discarded later), or just put a placeholder ?

Emacs error

Whenever I run `C-c C-p` to parse the DTD, I get "External entity CHAPTER not found". Can any one explain why? And perhaps suggest a fix? -Charlie -- -- tuxxer <tuxxer(a)cox(dot)net> <== tuxxer's gpg key fingerprint ==> 57EB F948 76AE 25BC E340 EFA9 FAF6 E1AC F1E1 1EA1

documentation process
by Rahul Sundaram 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Hi I have been in the LDP list for sometime and the review process there is something like this * Author submits the document link to the discussion list * Peer review is done by volunteers in the list * If the document is generally agreed upon to be included the author would then update the document according to peer reviews * The document would be assigned to editors who would then do a language review as well as a technical review( need not be the same person). * It is included in LDP and goes through a yearly review to make sure its relevant and kept updated. * If not the document author is contacted off list and gently advised to make appropriate updates * If the authors cannot maintain the document it is moved to the unmaintained list or someone else takes over the maintainance or even completely removed where it is deemed necessary(gross inaccuracies or such- ex: kernel howto) The author as well as reviewers howto has more details. Fedora docs project should probably adopt something similar if its not done already regards Rahul Sundaram _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!

mirror-tutorial, etc.
by Paul W. Frields 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

Version 0.22 is reasonably complete except for one open technical question, noted by a comment in the DocBook XML source. I need an editor for this document. Find the bug at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130125 Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I should have the usb-hotplug-tutorial ready tomorrow, and a first shot at the style guide by the end of the week. -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE

mirror-tutorial 0.2
by Paul W. Frields 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

The updated version, hopefully ready for editorial, is available at Bugzilla #130125. Major issues: 1. I need someone to contribute sections on apt. I don't use it, only up2date with the yum backend. Note that the tutorial is purposely *not* designed to be a tutorial for how to use yum and apt. The only reason they are mentioned is in the context of providing a backend for up2date on both the server and the client side. As it stands, the tutorial fulfills its mission, but it does not cover the apt part, only yum. 2. There is a technical question in there about using a directory containing ISO loopback mount points (disc1/, disc2/, etc.) via NFS for system-config-packages. Anyone know the answer? 3. For those only willing to browse the results, the nightly HTML build will be available tomorrow at <http://docs.frields.org>. I need an editor; anyone willing to bear the pain? -- Paul W.
