Re: Contributing to the site - WP8 experiences
Scribbling feverishly on April 21, Anita Lewis managed to emit: Hi. Last week I got a cdrom from linux central containing WP8. I tried to install it on RH7.2 at work and had problems. I brought it home and tried to install on Debian (woody) and had other problems. I also have RH7.2 here at home; so I pursued it a bit today and got lucky. While I was looking for answers I was led to the sxs site and saw the docs on WP8 there. I didn't see the answers to my problems, but found them later on a corel newsgroup. I was thinking the process might fit be worth contributing to the site. Is there some place that explains how to make contributions? I guess I should really go look at the site first, but I was also wondering if you think something on how to install on RH7.2 and Debian would be worthwhile. Hi, Anita, Send your submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] We accept straight text or html, but it *really* helps and speeds things up if you use one of the templates. See CONTRIBUTING at the bottom of the navigation frame at the Steps site. Oh, and thanks very much for your help and your contribution!

Problems with installing WP8 result from the ommission of some support libraries that are now obsolete. Only SuSE seems interested in supporting WP8, and has provided a WP8 compatibility package group in its releases. Each new distribution requires now a different fix for WP8 to run. The fix sometimes is posted on the distribution's web site, e.g. Mandrake, but it usually takes some effort to find it. I have posted a detailed how-to for installing both WP8 and WP8.1 in Libranet (my present prefered distro) on that distro's website. http://www.libranet.com/support/view.cgi?item=WP8Libranet2.html Libranet promises to include a WP8 Compatibility Group in their next release, so the need for this elaborate sort of crutch will go away. In the mean time I'd suggest people who like WP8 stick with distributions that let it install without having to leap through fiery hoops. -- Leon A.
