While these are for the 2005.1 release, they are still perfectly valid for use in catalyst 2.0. > > > And as a good practice, leave all configs (for some time) in the source of > > catalyst sot that anybody > > , more in practice than in theory, can produce an install CD. > > catalyst 2.0_rc12 at least installs lots of examples in > /usr/share/doc/catalyst-*/examples Correct. The examples are probably the best documentation out there. The simple truth is that we have been making so many changes to the code over the last year or so that it has been impossible to keep up with the web-based documentation. We'd rather have working code than pretty documents.

Please, please, please... do *not* join #gentoo-releng unless you want to watch us talk. We are nearing release times which means that *nobody* that is not working on an official Gentoo release will have voice in that channel. The channel is *not* a catalyst support channel. There is a mailing list for that express purpose. We don't need a flood of people coming in asking how to use the application while we're busy trying to get a release out the door. If you want catalyst help or just to discuss catalyst, please join the gentoo-catalyst mailing list. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
