Fedora Documentation Search Engine
by Gavin Henry 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Dear all, Has there been any discussion about this? I thinking along the lines of htdig/swish-e that indexes all man pages/howto/README after every rpm is installed. Something like a post entry in the spec file, or similar. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.

PDF Generation broken.
by Gavin Henry 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Dear all, I just wanted to bring this to everyones attention. I have been chatting to Kwade about this over on the #fedora-docs irc channel and he is aware that this is still broken. It has been since Fedora was announced. I have testing as much as I can, and xmlto seem to be fine, it's the tex part that breaks whenever there are itemizedlist's I am quite happily generating PDF when these are not in the xml doc. What can I do to fix this? Also, page headers i.e. the documents name don't span the to of the PDF properly. Is this a xslt issue? Thanks, Gavin. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.

Installation Guide TODO list
by Stuart Ellis 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

I've posted another build of the Installation Guide with a TODO file. To clarify this a bit: - The Known Issues are things that I can't check/don't know the answer to, but may be easy to fix. - Version 0.9 will be a test release that is announced on the main fedora-list. 0.9 requires the screenshots to be put in place and the core sections "Disk Partitioning" and "Boot Loader" to be complete. I don't consider it necessary to complete all of the appendices to release 0.9, but before release we will have to remove any appendices that are not considered complete. - Version 1.0 will be the release that is submitted for publication as the Fedora Core 3 Installation Guide. - The issues listed as "not required for 1.0" are things that I would like to include sometime in the future, but won't delay releases for. Most are small additions. Obviously, feel free to comment on, or propose amendments for, anything at all. -- Stuart Ellis s.ellis(a)fastmail.co.uk

Screenshot Queries
by Stuart Ellis 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

I've done a full batch of screenshots for the Installation Guide, and the masters are here: http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~hobb/fedora/screenshots/ Two rather silly queries regarding these: 1) The Documentation Guide specifies a width but not a height. What would be the best height to use ? 2) There are a lot of images, which means that organising them is a problem in itself. Is there a naming convention that I should use for the files ? FWIW, these were captured using VMWare. I found that many of the required images couldn't be captured with anaconda's --auto-screenshot because they were either text mode, or were dialog boxes. -- Stuart Ellis s.ellis(a)fastmail.co.uk

Introduction
by Mayank Sharma 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Hello, I am Mayank Sharma, a freelance technical writer in New Delhi, India. I helped launch India's first magazine on Open Source -- LINUX For You. Currently am freelancing for OSTG (NewsForge, Linux.com, etc) and occasionally write for Linux Journal and OpenOffice.org as well. I am one of the silent subscribers of the list, but hope to change that status with this email. While working on an article on SELinux, I bumped into Karsten at #selinux. After a few hours we were discussing about the fedora docs, Karsten laying down the project's need for authors. Due to time considerations I can't (yet) author a doc, but I did volunteer to maintain the existing stock. Karsten thinks the Installation Guide would need multiple maintainers. So here I am ready to share the burden with Stuart. This (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/) has been read and understod. Awaiting orders! ! Mayank geekybodhi.net

Since I am working on FC3, certain portions wouldn't hurt :) Stuart is preparing a response to Karsten's email. We'll take it from there. ! Mayank

DNS failure since upgrade to fedora core 3
by mreynolds＠toplayer.com 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

I had bind 9.X running under Fedora Core 2 and upgraded to Fedora core 3 I am not sure of the exact version on FC 2 but it is 9.2.4-2 on FC 3. It does not work anymore now and from some digging around I noticed that there are some changes in the named.conf Like the following which was not there before zone "testnet" IN { type master; file "testnet.zone" The db file seems ok and the service starts but any queries for that zone don't get an answer. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks Micheal Reynolds

Hardening Doc Update 2
by tuxxer 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi all. I added some of the suggestions Paul gave me. I'm still working on some of the password stuff, and I would like to put screenshots in some places, but since I'm new to this whole way of documenting things, I'll have to do a little research on that one. Anyway, please check out the updates. I've updated the HTML version at http://members.cox.net/tuxxer as well as the XML, which can be found at the link below. http://members.cox.net/tuxxer/fedora-hardening-guide-whole-en.xml Please feel free to make comments, constructive criticism, etc. Depending upon the amount of feedback I get, I'll post a final here, then post that to the bug tracker. Thanks for all of the help and advice! Oh, I tried to do a 'make pdf', and it failed. It said there was no target, so maybe I grabbed the wrong Makefile when I got started or something. If anyone can point me in the direction to get this target into my Makefile, I'd like to make this as complete as possible. Thanks. -- -tuxxer gpg: 57EB F948 76AE 25BC E340 EFA9 FAF6 E1AC F1E1 1EA1
