I'm afraid this "bleeding-edge" metaphor is often used as an excuse for missing or poor documentation. Official Fedora documentation is excessively verbose, and not good at answering - or even considering - issues and problems that users are likely to face. There is - or should be - a big difference between a Reference Manual and a User Manual. As an example (at random) I'd take using a USB stick for installation. Does anybody nowadays actually burn CDs or DVDs? Yet finding instructions on the use of USB sticks (and external USB drives) in the official installation manual involves jumping around from chapter to chapter. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
