I deliberately put my howto into one long document, and generally it has been appreciated. However, it is a large document already, I've started the process of updating it for rh80 and oh my, it really is starting to become unmanageable as one long hit. I will *have* to break it up. Actually, I've been playing around with css/dhtml, and what I'll probably end up doing is to have a nice "pretty" topic-by-topic version for online viewing (frame-style side menus etc, but using div/span to avoid the ugly frame format), and then have a "printer-friendly" version that gives it all to you one big no-frills hit. (Writing documentation is certainly a bit of an art... sooner or later I'll have to get my head into xml/docbook and put it into that format - as long as there are hooks to allow me to customise the final output formats as I like :) > Have a good day > Luigi Bitonti And thanks Luigi for your redhat-cd-howto update, it has plugged the gap, and it is proving to be a good reference for doing my own update efforts :) (although I'm planning to put quite a bit more into my new version). Don't hold your breath for my update though... I'm working on it, but in between other things I'm doing. (I don't build customised installers for a living, it is a "hobby interest" nowdays). Cheers Tony
