Or have two config sections (one for x86_64, one for i386) so people can still cut and paste. > Equally, where config stuff has changed between dists (eg, C4 > C5), > I've stated the guide was written for C5 but added notes affecting C4 > where I've known of differences (for example, > HowTos/postfix_restrictions where some of the config syntax changed > between postfix versions). Yes. Or write it twice or three times, for 4 and 5 (or maybe even 3). This has been done on several pages, see the HardwareList. If it really is release specific (meaning it really is only for 5 or for 4), this should be stated directly at the top of the document ... > WRT your point above, IMHO major information (potential show stoppers) > such as dist or arch specific notes would probably be best included in a > note at the *top* of the document rather than the bottom.

So you could have a Category64Bit, Category32Bit, CategoryCentOS5, CategoryCentOS4 at the bottom of each page. We could then create overview pages for CentOS 4, CentOS 5, x86_64 (and so on) on which these articles will automatically be listed. A CategoryCentOS4 overview page could look like this: http://wiki.centos.org/CategoryCentOS4 (this page does not exist yet!) ----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%< ## Please edit system and help pages ONLY in the moinmaster wiki!

Why would this mean "a bit of work"? Because we have to retouch every page to make this work. Cheers, Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
