Sorry, I do not recall ever reading about the RaQ2 systems not having
keyboards. How do you do the initial network setup upon delivery of
these machines?
There is a LCD Panel on the front, and you have to set each one
individually. It also depends
on the firmware you use.
C'mon Jim, you don't have to sell the product to me. You can't be
serious that it is easier to update the x86, x86_64, ppc, etc, etc,
books instead of just one book. There is more work involved. I've
downloaded the sources, examined them and see the rendering procedures.
It is not easier. You have more updates to more books to do the
same thing as before. How can you possible say it is more simple?
Randy, it may be biased on my part because I like the new format so
much. If there is an update
to let's say grep. All we have to do is edit the grep entry in
general.ent. Now if we need to change
the text, then we just edit the final-system/common/grep.xml. Now there
is a separate grep.xml for
the RaQ2, but Manuel is working on a way to use xinclude to bring in all
the information that is
duplicated. So in this case most of what you will see is an xinclude
from the final-system/common/grep.xml file
and the required patch for the RaQ2.
I have been following the -dev list and all the commits. I feel I
have a good understanding of the procedure. What I don't understand
is your comment about "look at the complete finished book". Is that
to mean I must wait until you release a stable version of the book
before it is understandable?
The book is complete, you need to look at the Manuels list of changes to
make things a
little simpler.

I think part of the problem is that people see this as one book, but
it's actually one book
per architecture.
