Patch vs. tar/untar method: Now that I have gone through the building process I have to agree with you guys that the patch method is the one to go with. However, when I was standing at the bottom of this high mountain I wanted to climb, I appreciated having both alternatives available to me (especially the tar/untar method made the mountain look a bit smaller). I also appreciated the explanation between the two methods Taylor offered, which then helped me to make a decision between the two (and this helped me understand the processes better, which I think should also be a goal of our how-to, not just a simple follow line by line recipe to make your own distro but provide learning options and understanding on how the install process really works!) Anyways, I assume that this is a democratic project and if it comes to a vote a will vote for the patch method for all the earlier mentioned reasons. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-docs-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-docs-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Long Sent: 24 November 2003 11:34 To: fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: anaconda documentation topics > Looks good.
