Well, I joined the this list to help out with documentation. One of |
| 9 |
the things I'm working on is installing older hardware with CF-to-ide |
| 10 |
converters. What I need is a basic understanding of how a installation |
| 11 |
differs with autobuilds vs the the existing handbook. |
| 12 |
|

|
| 15 |
My suggestions is that once I get that knowledge assimilation of the |
| 16 |
basics of using autobuild to perform an installation, to just |
| 17 |
edit a copy of the handbook the way I think it should be modified. Put |
| 18 |
the doc somewhere for others to review. Then maybe some 'master |
| 19 |
editor' can look at my suggestions and others' suggestions and make a |
| 20 |
final version. I like to use installation docs as I go through several |
| 21 |
installations and refine the docs as I go. Slow but thorough and |
| 22 |
inclusive. I lack experience in using autobuilds to do an |
| 23 |
installation. So if somebody has some skeleton notes, I can use on |
| 24 |
some on older machines, I can provide a modified doc, if that is |
| 25 |
interesting to folks on the doc team? Perhaps it could be an |
| 26 |
alternative installation guide that I maintain for Gentoo, because |
| 27 |
on gentoo user, we always have folks that need help putting Gentoo |
| 28 |
on older (586) hardware. I intend to be very verbose in adding |
| 29 |
iptables for firewalls and Bind 9 for DNS primary and secondary |
| 30 |
servers. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Otherwise, I'm open to suggestion as to how I can help. I've been |
| 34 |
using Gentoo since 2004.1...... An I can can do the 586 firewalls |
| 35 |
and DNS servers separate from this group... |
