My point? If you're building a router or IoT tool on a development board, you're going to need to know a fair amount about the install process. Even building an image and flashing it can't always ignore that stage. There are a lot of admins who are working on experimental projects that make no sense on out-of-the-box hardware, and I don't see the demand for that skill set dwindling any time soon. Just to bring this thread back to where it started, though: I brought this up specifically in the context of the Linux Essentials cert, which has a whole different focus. Here, we are potentially speaking to newcomers and - while the argument that installation is difficult to teach usefully and impossible to test is well taken - I believe installation at that level is not entirely irrelevant. _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
