I suggest adding links to some supporting documentation. For example,
you could add a prerequisites section saying this technique or trick
requires the install media available, either on the network or on the
local disk. Instructions for setting up the install media on the
network can be found in the Installation guide, chapter 2.5 Preparing
for a Network Installation
http://centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-steps-network-installs-x86.html
Instructions for putting the install media on the local disk can be
found in the Installation guide, chapter 2.6 Preparing for a hard drive
Installation
http://centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/ch02s06.html
It looks like the version 5.2 docs are the most recent on the centos.org
site.
Ed,
Thanks for the suggestion. For a short Tips page I'm reluctant to add
too much, and also don't like linking to the obsolete docs. Feel free
to edit the page if you feel differently. :-)
I feel linking is better than not giving the reader an idea of where to
go next. I felt linking to the obsolete CentOS docs was better than
linking to upstream docs, since that part hasn't really changed. I
suppose if we used
http://centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/ as the base, it
would be re-linked when a document was updated and could (theoretically)
be changed by the translators (assuming alternate language manuals
existed).
OT: So what's happening with updating docs?
Phil
I had an urge to ask the same about updating CentOS docs, but that is
commonly interpreted as volunteering to lead the task. I'd volunteer to
help, though. Is someone currently in charge of that?
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ suggests that the CentOS project
redistributes without modification. Since this isn't code, I assume
(subject to correction) that this process is different than the process
at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General/RebuildReleaseProcess but possibly
similar in some respects for the equivalent rpms.
