------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-27 03:25 ------- I submitted this against the paper version of the Quick Start guide. Is there an online or electronic version of this document I could review? ftp? email attachment? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: Sorry - there is no "Documentation" product or component on the Bugzilla submission screens - so I used "installation". Please forward to the appropriate people. As I read through the Quick Startup Guide that came with my 9.0 PowerPack edition I found a few things that were not clear. Here they are: Chapter 1. Installation Guide Warning 1st paragraph - You might want to reword "(meaning being able to access both OSes on the same computer)" to "(meaning being able to access either OS on the same computer)". In my opinion "both" suggests simultaneous use of both OSes when I believe you mean the user can reboot to switch from one OS to the other using them in a sequential manner. Chapter 2. Before Installation 2.1 Configuring your BIOS - 2nd paragraph - I suggest rewording the sentence: "If your Windows 9x OS is initializing these devices instead of the BIOS, this will need to be changed for use under GNU/Linux." -to- "If your BIOS is set to skip initializing plug'n'play devices, you will need to change this to run GNU/Linux. Windows 9x OSes should continue to work correctly even if the BIOS performs plug'and'play device initialization." 3rd paragraph - this paragraph starts out by negating the 2nd paragraph! Very confusing. It makes much more sense if the first sentence in the 3rd paragraph "If your devices are not recognized properly, it could help to turn off plug'n'play features in the BIOS." is completely removed. 2.2. Creating a Boot Disk - Since CDROM "Boot Disks" can also be created and a bootable CDROM disk is used to create the floppy boot disk, I suggest that to reduce confision the word "floppy" be added before "boot disk" and before "image" for every occurence in this section. Thus the title of section 2.2 becomes "Creating a Floppy Boot Disk" and the first two sentences of the 2nd paragraph become: "The CD-ROM contains all of the floppy image files and utility programs needed. You will also need to create a floppy boot disk if you wish to use a bootloader other than LILO or grub (for example a Windows bootloader)." 3rd paragraph - The second sentence "For this method of installation, the significant file is named cdrom.img." doesn't make sense - no method of installation has yet been discussed. The next sentence on the next page however explains things well so the second sentence can simply be deleted. Then, again for perfect clarity, change the sentence on the next page from "The cdrom.img image is used to install the distribution from a CD-ROM." -to- "The cdrom.img floppy disk image is used to install the distribution from CD-ROM." Whew, editing documentation takes some time! Thats enough for now...
