Aloha, I am very new to all of this and am thankful that you folks share with me advice. I was not aware that bottom posting was the preferred way but will do so from now on. ;) On a different note, I have not installed FC5 yet. I am waiting for the nVidia stuff to get updated. I know there are ways around it but I want it all to go smoothly. I also need to figure a way to move my /home to a neutral location so I can recover all my files and such. As always this is a learning experience for me but one I enjoy. I am trying to work a way, in my head at the moment, of putting home on a separate partition so that upgrading the OS will not affect things as much. Any advice there would be also sincerely appreciated. As to the Documentation Guide I am working on I have an outline done for the major steps I saw from the Wiki. Now that I have that down, I am using the Wiki as a reference and rewriting the various steps. My goal, if I can work it this way, is to have many smaller pages linked from the main page. The main page will just be the steps and the links will be for more detailed instructions so that it serves for advanced and new users. I will be the first to say that I am not at all familiar with Doc Book so everything I am doing at this time is in text. I will try to learn Doc Book as I can. This is the outline so far: 1.) Subscribe to the fedora-docs-list, fedora-dsco-list and fedora-announce-list a.) Visit the pages and fill in the needed information b.) An automated email message will be sent c.) Follow the link or respond to the email 2.) Ensure that the proper tool chain installed a.) Package Management I.) up2date II.) Yum III.) RPM b.) Privacy Guard Software and Management Utilities. I.) GnuPG II.) Seahorse III.) KGpg c.) Email I.) Evolution II.) Thunderbird III.) Kmail IV.) Pine d.) Editors 1.) Vi II.) Emacs III.) OpenOffice.org Writer e.) Utilities I.) CVS II.) xmlto III.) Docbook files 3.) Generate a GPG key and setup your email client a.) Create a key Pair b.) Post public key at pgp.mit.edu c.) GPG key management utilities I.) KGPG II.) Seahorse III.) At the command line d.) Setup email client to work with GPG I.) Evolution II.) Thunderbird III.) Kmail IV.) Pine 4.) Create a Bugzilla account(Red Hat) a.) Fill out subscription page b.) Receive email c.) Respond to or follow link in email d.) Account done 5.) Create a Fedora Project Account (Not the same as a Bugzilla Account.) a.) Apply for an account I.) Fill out Subscription page II.) Receive an email III.) Respond to or follow link in email IV.) Account setup. b.) Request and Complete a Contributor License Agreement(CLA) I.) Form the accounts page click to have it emailed to the account on file. II.) Receive it and following the instructions in the email, fill it out, sign it with your GPG key and return it. III.) Get confirmation email. Done. c.) Download and save the client-side certificate. 6.) Post a self-introduction to the fedora-docs-list a.) Subject b.) Body c.) Include Public GPG Key Feedback as always is welcomed. Mahalo, Edward
