This book teaches the *basics* of creating a base system. It should not, nor can it effectively, teach proper system admin topics. The target audience of this book has fallen drastically, and my one shot in the dark request for trunk would be to rip out a lot of the text that is currently in it and take it back down to circa the 3.0 days when it had all it *needed* to teach an *advanced* user (the stated target audience) how to achieve a base system. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
