Description Riaan van Niekerk 2009-09-30 13:22:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

In various places in the document there are references to Fedora 

a) which should be references to Red Hat Enterprise Linux instead, e.g.
"Making a Fedora installation CD available on a HTTP server" 
on pages 7, 109, 173, 297 (4 references), 305, 309

b) which refer to Fedora in conjunction to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and complicate the document since it is a RHEL-only document and does not try to cover Fedora for the most part, e.g.: 
(p291) "The Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora Linux installer (anaconda)..."

c) in cases, the instructions for Fedora are incorrect

(p291) "vncviewer is available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora Linux by installing the vnc package."

Comment: Incorrect, as Fedora 11 includes vncviewer in the tigervnc package.

Expected results:

Only reference Fedora when relevant.

Thanks for these -- I've cleaned them up in the source and the changes will become visible the next time that we republish the doc.
