Hi, all,
Sven was kind enough to take me up on my offer of providing some real fundamental how-tos and docs for the Gentoo documentation. He wrote,
"Yes, Gentoo definitely needs documentation on aspects that most Linux/UNIX users would find too easy to discuss. This includes mounting, Linux filesystem structure, first command line usage rules, permissions, ..."
Too easy to discuss? That's me! Actually, I think that articles on the fundamentals, perhaps linked to from other docs with a (<a href='$easydoc'>?</a>) would be really good for people who hve the desire to take the plunge and try Gentoo but not the basic skills to understand what options they have, say, when mounting something (or even that they need to).
On the other hand, I'm not trying to make a branch of LinuxQuestions.org or recreate the body of stuff out there. I'm rather looking to create supplementary docs in the same "voice" and tone as the Gentoo docs, Gentoo-specific where necessary, to add a tutorial of "What's happening now" during an install.
So I'd like to ask if any of you have any pet areas which you know to be of interest to newbies, please let me know.
Oh, and despite the email address, I'm Nick Selby, and my personal site is http://www.nickselby.com; my business is at http://www.flyguides.com
