Let me preface this by saying I'm a big fan of Debian. One reason I've not contributed much testing to this release is a new job where I look after many Debian boxes.
I finally got around to doing my first base install of slink this morning. <RANT> The first thing a newcomer to our distribution sees is the installation. *** GET RID OF THE GODDAMN BLANK LINES IN THE MODULE DESCRIPTIONS! *** What's a newbie to think? If I don't know what this module is I probably don't need to install it? *** GET RID OF THE GODDAMN BLANK LINES IN THE MODULE DESCRIPTIONS! *** </RANT> When I raised this same issue while testing hamm I assumed it would be taken care of for slink. Silly me. I even went so far as to download the boot-floppies package to see if I could figure out where the text went and offer to fix it myself. With the time I had available I never did get the organization of that package deciphered. When I looked before, there was a description of every one of these modules available as part of the "Help" option of the kernel configuration process. That means that the text is there. It shouldn't take too much effort to tailor it to fit the menus in the installation. <HAPPY FACE> The base install of slink from the latest boot floppies went smoothly. </HAPPY FACE> Cheers, Pann -- Pann McCuaig [EMAIL PROTECTED] PO Box 55549, Seattle, WA 98155 Technical Manager Phone: (206) 782-7733 ext 122 SSC, Inc. www.ssc.com Fax: (206) 782-7191 Linux Journal www.linuxjournal.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
