Great. Wouldn't you know that when I go into my diatribe on the second paragraph of page 78 that I make all kinds of mistakes... :} Here's some fixes to what I meant to write there: s/something that I would right/something that I would write/ s/the user reading has/the reader has/ Thanks for the feedback. Most of the typos were already fixed and made it into the RHL 9 CG. I fixed the others in CVS for the next version. I also fixed the HTML version of the RHL 8.0 CG and the RHL 9 CG on the website. In regards to the paragraph you felt did not fit in the CG, apparently I thought so as well because I removed in from the RHL 9 CG. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 Description of problem: Here I use a standard shortcut repeatedly, namely s/text already in the manual/text that should be in the manual/ To represent the text that I think is suboptimal with a possible suggestion on what to change it to. p.16, line 3 s/create partition/partition/ p. 52, four lines from the bottom s/Each group as/Each group has/ p. 72, figure 7-15 This is supposed to be a figure of the pre-installation script, yet the post-installation script is shown. p. 74, second line of the tip s/append/prepend/ OR s/append the directory name with/append the directory name to/ p78, 2nd paragraph The whole 2nd paragraph disrupts the flow of the chapter and seems like a drop from the rigorous technical level of the manual to something that I would right (i.e. colloquial crap that doesn't fit in). First, it assumes that the user reading has probably compiled their own kernel--people who have done so probably aren't going to be reading the customization guide (the reference guide might be more on their level). Compiling the kernel isn't mentioned until much later in the manual anyway. Second, the reader is in the middle of reading a section (actually, closer to the end) when they come across, "If you would like to know a solution to this problem, read this section". Totally out of place. Third, the question doesn't fit in with the flow of the manual. No where else do I read a question that is asking the reader what they have or haven't done. Perhaps I'm going over-board in trashing this paragraph, but in an otherwise technically superb manual (which puts to shame almost all other documentation that I've read on linux), this stands out like an ugly sore thumb. Okay, I'll get off my soap-box now. p111, first sentence of section 12.3 s/manual/manually/ p127, 3rd line from bottom s/It the entire/If the entire/ p128, first sentence of section 15.3.1 s/you do have have/you do not have/ p135, 6 lines from the bottom s/depreciated/deprecated/ Chapter 23 Repeated reference to an 'Apply' button. I don't see any such buttons. I believe these were all removed due to the Gnome HIG's. p185, 4 lines above section 24.1 s/above 500/below 500/ p186, 11 lines from top s/above/below/ (same problem as the one on p185; note that the documentation only got this correct only on page 187 under section 24.3) p187, last line s/Figure 24-3/Figure 24-5/ p188, last sentence What Apply button? p205, first line of note s/stored Thus,/stored. Thus,/ (needs a period) p212, last sentence before section 26.12 s/converts it a format/converts it into a format/ p253, line 2 s/(collective known as/(collectively known as/ Hope these help (and that they're not too late to get into the RedHat 8.1 manuals. :) Once again, thank you for writing some outstanding documentation. :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhl-cg(EN)-8.0-Print-RHI (2002-08-14T17:28-0400)
