For that I apologise. Your follow-up email offers me the opportunity to remedy that.
The first step to an "official" page is to create an "unofficial" page. I should also point out that the gap between "official" and "unofficial" is almost arbitrary in the age of integrated search engines. If you present a page that contains a well documented and thoughtful process, that is peer reviewed, that contains test cases and follows documentation standards, then your "unofficial" page will be of a similar reach and utility to your intended audience. Perhaps you and Alexander should join forces and create a page documenting the process on the wiki. Once the document has been drafted and once you've had a few people test it and comment on it, you might present the completed page here and ask the question again. I suspect a more fruitful path is that you might discuss your drafted page with the documentation team. It may well be that your page grows and becomes part of the "official" documentation, or it may just retain its "unofficial" status - this really should be of limited concern in my opinion. Once a process is documented it becomes available to the wider community and that should in my opinion be what drives your contribution. A USB flash installation may be vital for you, perhaps it's even vital to others, but unless it's documented, it doesn't exist. -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06" - E115°50'39" (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)() ..ASCII for Onno.. |>>? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
