Re: The Debian Live manual
Hi, I am currently catching up with the last 6 months of development of live-helper. I discovered a nice manual is on its way. Thanks. Chris Lamb [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2008-05-11 23:08:11) : I recently starting putting together the beginnings of the Debian Live manual. I have setup a simple autobuilder which is updated every hour: http://alioth.debian.org/~lamby-guest/live-manual/ Please find attached a patch that simply consists in my first reading of it.

Which tbh isn't quite 'there' yet in our packaged browsers. Wikis are also non-linear, which also causes problems when you try to produce printed documentation (which is inherently linear). Well, I think most people understand and like hyperlinks, even in print mediums like PDF.
