We're really 100,000 monkeys in a room on an island Somewhere Else. You should have seen what happened with Microsoft made the mistake of sending a sales rep around with a bunch of "free" copies of MS Office. We're still finding what we call bits-of-Redmond all over the place. > I like the installation guide above > (or at least the parts of it that have been written), > though I would add the slight criticism > that it does not tell you what to do > if the step described does _not_ work. [snip other relevancies] I agree with how useful this would be. However, we recently decided to focus the IG on the common case where things work as expected. Then we are splitting out detailed technical discussions and problem areas into separate docs. Otherwise, the IG becomes too big to maintain easily by itself. This lets us get the first 60% to 80% of users with a single guide. Then we can focus resources on documenting other aspects of the installation for either those who want to know more or those who have troubles. > So my advice would be to ask people what problems they have had > with installation, and see if you can address their problems. > perhaps in an FAQ chapter. Do you have any ideas how to gather this information? Do you any interest in working on such an FAQ? cheers - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
