I got your point and I mostly agree with the necessity of producing useful documentation. Just I don't see why the official documentation of a distribution (something like the Debian Reference) should include a guide on how to recover your system when you have messed up things with a specific bootloader, e.g. LILO, which is something extremely rare to happen to 99.99% of the typical users :) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ --- GLUG Catania -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ me [at] katolaz.homeunix.net -- http://katolaz.homeunix.net -- ] [ GNU/Linux User:#325780/ICQ UIN: #258332181/GPG key ID 0B5F062F ] [ Fingerprint: 8E59 D6AA 445E FDB4 A153 3D5A 5F20 B3AE 0B5F 062F ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
