Was that intentional? Yes, but not as a position statement in a 'MiB' v. 'MB' debate. It was done to keep the language using the same style as the rest of Fedora Documentation. If your next question is, where is the style guidelines and list of approved word usages? the answer is, it doesn't really exist. Therefore, if you want to influence/convince FDP to use MiB instead of MB, please feel free to do so. Whatever consensus we reach becomes our standard, and we can start a Wiki page on the subject. Again, we would be doing the right thing and trying to lead the way with standards. Makes sense on the face of it. - 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/
