| From: David Farning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Below is a very rough outline-brain dump- of what I think a user needs | to know before installing a pre-built image.
Tough problem -- what can you assume the reader knows? I guess that the first thing to state is what you do assume that they know. | Installation recipies | are *bullshit*. Why do you say that? I can think of reasons, but I don't know if they are yours. I think that recipes are brittle: if any of the ground shifts, the user gets loss. Without the right tools, they can only recover in spite of a recipe. | All of the sections needs to be fleshed out(I expect the chapter to end up | being about 40-50 pages long) . That is an awfully long chapter. Maybe subsections will be sufficiently bite-sized to make the document easy enough to absorb. | I would appricate | suggestions on key stuff that I am missing. I read what you wrote. I am surely not be the target audience, but it didn't give me much of value. I wonder whether the generality of the set of targets make it hard to say specific things and the specific is the easiest to understand. | The chapter will have two goals. | 1 The reader should have enough knowledge to an image on their device. | 2 The reader should be able to find and refer to other embedded | device books. I would think that (1) might be best separated from and preceded by explaining (0) how a OpenWrt system fits together. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
