I'll certainly look at that, but my experience of the system-config scripts (particularly system-config-printer and system-config-network) is not good. They seem to me to be simply add a layer of obfuscation which makes it harder to diagnose any problems that arise.
And I certainly don't think it is any part of a HOWTO to try to improve the system.
But I will look at it in due course, if I am updating the HOWTO.
Sorry for my late reply on this, I am changing ISP plans at the moment and am currently disconnected at home between plans.
I am happy if Tim would like to work on updating the HOWTO and if there's anyone else who would like to offer him a hand.
I propose it would be easier to update the document in HTML format first, then move it into the wiki once the chapters are reviewed. I have the domain www.linuxgeeks.org available on a server to upload any HTML pages for review, if this would make it easier for basic HTML reviewing. You can use it as a "scratch pad" if need be.
