Hi, I very much appreciate the docs you made, supporting the upgrade from sarge to etch. I realize that you must know so much, much more about the system than I do that it may be difficult for you to see where the document is obscure, at least for me. Instead of a list, let me suggest one way that would help me, a lot: put in the actual commands, so that a user can do things even though he or she doesn't understand exactly what's going on.
You do this a lot already, and it's very much appreciated. Still, there are places where it's missing. One is section '4.7.2 Rerun lilo', where you give one command (# /sbin/lilo), to be run if you use lilo as the bootloader. I think I do, but I'm not sure. Therefore, I would have been helped by a command that finds out whether you use liilo or grub. Perhaps cat /proc/something?, cat /etc/lilo.conf? What should those files look like? How do you compare them to what you want to see in / or initrd (as you mention one should)? In this same section, you recommend checking /etc/kernel-img.conf, to make sure there's a line 'do_bootloader = Yes'. Often these conf files will have all the available commands, with most of them commented out. Then, you can activate them easily, and you are sure that the format, etc., is correct. But, when you have to add the command yourself you might wonder about the spaces around the '=' sign, and the capital Y in Yes: So, it would be nice if you could give what the file should look like, including warnings about spaces and capitalization as needed. Hope this helps. Please be assured that these comments are not intended as criticism, but rather are proof of my appreciation for your work. Nino -- Nino R.
