The same reason I had a problem with Docbook: Few people understand it, the documentation is fragmented and not very well edited, there are few examples so far, and the method being used to introduce it doesn't permit easy transition. It works, but awkwardly. > I know it's a heated topic, but still I hate to see unsourced comments such as > this. Like most stuff: it's not the technology, it's how it's used. I'm still skeptical. I can see why something like it is needed, but IMHO the implementation is unnecessarily cryptic. But, nobody asked me, so there. 8-) It is what it is, and now we're pretty much stuck with it. It has to be better than hand editing the inittab file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
