Have you looked at it? It's the beggining of an excellent document that
already covers System Administration (configuring users, upgrading lilo,
...), Setting up 'non-essential' peripherals (soundcards, printers, ...),
using applications (Emacs, Apache, Netscape (!!), ...)
These are mainly generic Linux issues, but it helps to have a central point
of access, with pointers to other information for when things go tricky. (It
would be nice if the list of HowTos was hyperlinked to the HTML versions
that can be installed, I think RedHat do this. Wouldn't it be great if the
docs were crosslinked with the KDE help too?
The size of the document is irrelevant, as as soon as X is configured it is
browsed online through a hyperlinked interface. If it develops as a Mandrake
specific front end HTML 'interface' to the HowTos, it will really help
Mandrake acheive the stated aim of being User Friendly.
