Hmm, that's a good point. I don't mention the "up side" in the document.
If someone's reviewing a bunch of different how-to docs, they would
probably be interested in knowing why I think my way is a good one. If
we can score points like that in official Fedora docs, then it keeps 'em
coming back. ;-)

Right. That's the way I used to do it before updfstab, too. And there's
no doubt that the venerable way works, it just doesn't give you all the
crunchy goodness of having your browser and permissions all fall into
line too, for whoever owns the console.

:-) Sorry, I was short on time and abbreviating gnome-volume-manager,
which Bill N. noted in his comment directly before. HAL is a
non-Linux-specific acronym, standing for "Hardware Abstraction Layer." I
suppose they talk about this a lot on the Linux kernel mailing list; I
don't have time to keep up with all of that traffic and actually *see*
my family! Hope that doesn't make me too much of a loser.

We're just starting to gather ideas in a bucket in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=129784. Do you
come with any specific ideas of where Fedora needs documenting?

Process suggestions vol. 1
by Paul W. Frields
The following is a core dump, because I have to get to a HOA meeting and
want to strike while the iron is hot. (Why yes, that *does* mean I have
a thick head, thanks for noticing.)
Ideas for improvied Docs Guide organization:
"Part 0."
Which part you should start reading. If you skip any parts (e.g. you
already have a tutorial written), what do you need to know to proceed?
Part 1. From idea to assignment.
Guidelines for scope, "pitch" (sorry if it's too Hollywood -- I mean
defining the syllabus or synopsis), and how to get the FDP's attention
(where to find us, come with a project in mind if possible, etc.). Why
this is a good idea rather than just throwing documents at us pell-mell.
Querying BZ for ideas.
Part 2. From assignment to production.
A slightly gentler how-to on getting the tools working, especially for
the Emacs/PSGML faint-of-heart. Pointers to other tool sets, and maybe
even instructions as well. Guidelines for the system you're documenting,
such as making sure that you're eliminating variables on your system to
which the "average" Fedora user isn't privy, trying to stick to best
methods for doing things (up2date vs. cli apt/yum, RPM vs tarballs,
etc.). Remember that we are not here to "fix" the system, we are here to
document how to use it as is. (See GNOME Docs Guide for similar
sentiments.)
We might want to include a style guide here.
Part 3. From production to posting.
How to submit the finished sources (BZ, eventual CVS,
fedora-docs-list...). What happens to your document after you submit it.
What the editor's responsibility is to you. What your responsibility is
to the editor. Approval process.
Part 4. From posting to...? (the grave?)
FDP/editors'/authors' responsibilities for keeping docs updated, and
how to change hands. Using BZ to report or query problems. Resolving
problems. Branching documents for different releases of FC.
Just some thoughts, more to come I fear.... :-)

Paul;
I understand that we maybe waiting on RH, but waiting on something that
'may' happen when 'someone' gets to it is like being the bridesmaid and
never the bride. [also, Sounds like Redmond, WA]
I'm not trying to be rude or insulting, but IF a working documentation
structure isn't able to be Resolved\Approved by those people that are
spending their own free time on it, then 'Houston, we have a problem'.
There is a difference between a releasing documents, especially those that
can be change so easily like XML, and making revisions and what seems to
be occurring; saying 'well, unless it is 100.01% perfect nobody gets to
see it'.
The advantage of OPEN SOURCE is the FREE EXCHANGE of information. This is
most importantly includes documentation. Red Hat gave the Fedora project
to the OS community because their focus shifted to Enterprise level sales
and service to make a profit. By extension that means that WE are able to
set standards. [aside: until recently monster.com had a job posting for a
DocBook person at RH. It is since been removed]
If FC is to progress to FC3, and gain traction, then it requires, and
demands, a large, free and accessible Document set.
While there are a number of 'document' sites. I will say that most of them
are a hodge-podge of minor tutorials and\or a document here or there on
FC. Not a dedicated single source for FC in an easy to read, DocBook
format.
Lastly, I understand that I am new to the group. I understand that I don't
post alot and am still trying to master DocBook syntax and d'l the
examples, but I will mention that I have 10+ yrs of computer programming &
training experience.
I know from experience that if you don't provide a basis for knowledge for
others to build on then the product, no matter how good, is destine to
fall by the wayside.

Fedora install boot floppy doc
by David Nedrow
I've begun a document that details how to create a boot floppy for
Fedora installs on systems that don't have CD-ROM drives, etc.
Several people suggested I participate in the docs list to see about
adding it into the doc stream.
It's already in Docbook XML format, since that's what we do all of our
documentation in at work.
Several people have already contributed additions, including a script to
pretty much handle the gruntwork automatically.
I'm including a text transform of the first draft.
I haven't lloked at the Fedora doc guidelines yet, but if I remember
correctly they're pretty straightforward, so it should be relatively
easy for me to jimmy things around if necessary.

_________________________________________________________
Motivation
Fedora does not currently provide boot floppies for installation.
The reason for this can be attributed to the fact that virtually no
computer ships these days without either a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM
drive. Additionally, many computers now do not even ship with a
floppy drive. This can present a problem for systems that may have a
floppy, but no CD-ROM drive
A good example of the problem presented by the lack of a boot
install floppy comes when users are dealing with remote
installations on systems for which the user does not have physical
access. In the case of the original Compaq Remote Insight Lights Out
(RILO) boards, the user can only remote install the system using a
boot floppy. There is no support for virtuallized CD-ROM access on
the original RILO cards.
_________________________________________________________
Overview
Creating a boot floppy for Fedora is actually quite simple, though
it does require several manual steps.
Basically, you will use the diskboot.img file that is provided
Fedora. This image is normally used to create bootable devices using
USB memory pens, etc. This image provides all of the installation
bits to which you will add a custom kernel and modules.
II. Detailed Boot Floppy Instructions
Table of Contents
Build the kernel
Set up the work files
Create modules.cgz
Create new initrd
Create the boot floppy
_________________________________________________________
Build the kernel
You will need to build a new kernel using the kernel source files
provided with the Fedora installation you are attempting. For this
document, I will be using Fedora Core 2 (FC2) as the base system.
FC2 uses a kernel tree identified as linux-2.6.5-1.358. If you do
not have this source tree, simply download and install
kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358.i386.rpm.
The key to making a boot floppy for the Fedora installation is
creating a kernel and set of modules that include the absolute
minimum number of features you need to boot and install.
This means excluding items like parallel port support, ACPI and APM,
non-essential filesystem support, etc. You should also exclude
serial support, framebuffer support, etc. Basically, anything that
you don't need for the installation process should not be included
in the kernel or as modules. E.g., don't add CD-ROM drivers if
you're installing from the network.
It's important to remember that the installation itself will install
a fully functional kernel on the target system.
Included in Appendix A is a sample kernel configuration file.
_________________________________________________________
Set up the work files
You will need the diskboot.img file provided with the Fedora
installation under the images directory.
Warning You will need mount/umount access on the local filesystem
for the following steps.
Create a working directory (for this document, I'll be using
~/bootwork), and move diskboot.img to that directory. Within the
working directory, also create the following sub-directories:
* initrd-old
* initrd-new
* bootdisk-old
* floppy
You can use the following command to create all of the required
directories and files you will need:
cd ~
mkdir -p ~/bootwork/initrd-old; mkdir ~/bootwork/initrd-new
mkdir ~/bootwork/diskboot-old; mkdir ~/bootwork/floppy
mkdir ~/bootwork/linux-2.6.5-1.358
dd if=/dev/zero of=~/bootwork/initrd bs=512 count=2880
/sbin/mke2fs -F -m0 ~/bootwork/initrd
dd if=/dev/zero of=~/bootwork/floppy.img bs=512 count=2880
/sbin/mkfs.vfat ~/bootwork/floppy.img
syslinux ~/bootwork/floppy.img
Now, you need to mount diskboot.img so that we can get to the files
we need. Assuming that diskboot.img is in your home directory:
cd ~/bootwork
mount -o loop ~/diskboot.img diskboot-old
mount -o loop floppy.img floppy
cp diskboot-old/*.msg floppy/
cp diskboot-old/splash.lss floppy/
cp diskboot-old/syslinux.cfg floppy/
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/arch/i386/boot/bzImage floppy/vmlinuz
gunzip -dc diskboot-old/initrd.img > initrd.old
mount -o loop initrd.old initrd-old
mount -o loop initrd initrd-new
_________________________________________________________
Create modules.cgz
The modules.cgz contains the modules (if any) that you built with
your custom kernel.
Use the following commands to create a new modules.cgz:
cd ~/bootwork
mkdir 2.6.5-1.358
find /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/drivers -name *.ko | xargs -n 1 -I {} c
p {} 2.6.5-1.358
find 2.6.5-1.358 | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -c9 > modules.cgz
_________________________________________________________
Create new initrd
Most of the new initrd image will be copied from the original initrd
that was extracted from the diskboot image.
cd ~/bootwork
cp -a initrd-old/bin initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/dev initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/etc initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/linuxrc initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/proc initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/sbin initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/selinux initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/sys initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/tmp initrd-new
cp -a initrd-old/var initrd-new
mkdir initrd-new/modules
cp -a initrd-old/modules/module-info initrd-new/modules
cp -a initrd-old/modules/modules.dep initrd-new/modules
cp -a initrd-old/modules/modules.pcimap initrd-new/modules
cp -a initrd-old/modules/pcitable initrd-new/modules
cp ~/anaconda-ks.cfg initrd-new/ks.cfg
cp -a modules.cgz initrd-new/modules
umount initrd-new
gzip -c9 initrd > initrd.img
cp initrd.img floppy
_________________________________________________________
Create the boot floppy
Now, all that has to be done is to unmount the new floppy image and
dump it to a floppy.
cd ~/bootwork
umount floppy
umount diskboot-old
umount initrd-old
dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

CVS Mirror
by redwire@therockmere.com
The question was asked about 2 weeks ago about hosting the CVS. I got some
specs, but I wanted to follow up.
I am migrating to a static IP 1.5/286 with Speakeasy in the next month.
While I don't want to drag my connex down, I'd be interested in hosting a
CVS mirror. In real terms, how much drag will I see if I host a CVS or
mirror CVS?
I guess I don't quite understand why the CVS is LOCKED and why the Fedora
Main Page hasn't been updated to release\hyperlink to at least some
documentation.
FC1 and FC2 have been in production since APRIL, it seems important to ME
at least that there be some sort of documentation made avail. Also, I
think that releasing some documentation would help alleviate some of the
errant posting of questions to the fedora-docs mailing list.
The other alt. is to consider a FC docs based website, on my server, and
ask for any interested doc mailing list participants to send their docs to
me and I'll post them.
Thoughts and clarification of usage appreicated

Using elvis?
by Colin Charles
Hi,
We've been talking about public CVS for far too long, and I think the
longer we wait, the longer Fedora Docs becomes less & less relevant
Keeping in mind that the barrier of entry is already relatively high
(you need to know DocBook, you need to use Emacs, etc...), this makes
folk move closer to creating docs on 3rd party sites
Why can't we use elvis.redhat.com ? Anaconda, translations and so on
happen at elvis, so why not fedora docs? This will mean external
contributors *can* commit to cvs as well
Kind regards

Clarification
by redwire@therockmere.com
I guess I kicked the hornets nest...so, Let me clarify a couple of points
that I raised in my last post
I am not suggesting that we Fork the doc project.
I used the offer of setting a CVS on my server only as repository for
completed documentation, to be made avail on a website.
I'm not openning my server to become a public FTP. Not going to happen.
But, I may have been a little OT with my terminology. In order to offer my
server for this I need it to be 90-95% automated. Like most of you, I
work, have kids and blah, blah, blah [ insert your busy sched. here ;-) ].
I am looking for controlled thruput. That is why I didn't suggest a WiKi.
I believe that the document integrity needs to be maintained. The DocBook
s/b published to a site with versioning.
I propose to give CVS or U'L access to ONLY the active members of this
list group for upload of Completed project(s). Then they are propagate to
the website. Docs are then avail for dissemination.
OK, here is what I have to ask\state;
1) Is this acceptable to the group?
2) Can CVS port to a live site? if so, where is the tutorial. Is there a
better tool for this idea?
( I can have a Nuke site up ASAP, but I dis-like some of the display
features for docs,but, can the RSS feeds pull the data?)
3) If RH opens their CVS ~ or starts posting docs ~ then they become prime
4) Proposed \ avail names?
5) I'm not asking you, singularly or as a group, to duplicate your
published work to 2 CVS's if there is a way to scrap the RH CVS. if so,
how?
Lastly, Karsten ~ TY for the shameless plug. I love tech writing and
trning, but I'd never get that job ~ I write like I talk ~ rambling
on-and-on-and... you get the idea!
