 |
|
I found the following things missing or superfluous in the hppa-install guide:
-> Numerous mentions of RISC, x86 or PPC-specific things. It is a "hppa" install guide, no other architecture should be mentioned.
-> Palo doesn't support reiserfs. It should be a note in the install guide.
Anyone have other suggestions? |

| The chapter about setting keymaps also talks a lot about different architectures but does not mention any advice on what to use on hppa. |

the documentation main page here says
| Quote: | | If you find bugs in our documentation or have proposals, please use our Bugtracking System and fill in a bug report for "Documentation" or "Doc Other". |
so please advance to bugs.gentoo.org if you have enhancements or proposals for the documentation, it is more likely to be read there by someone who can change that. |

It's worth noting, those handbooks often share sections.
For instance, almost all the handbooks use the same file for Chapter 5. Compare:
The one exception to this rule is MIPS, which has a custom section. (This was a decision I made when it became clumbersome to use the communal one, and still provide the necessary MIPS-specific documentation)
Many other sections are also shared... ViewCVS has a listing of all the files that make up those handbooks. (They're generated on-the-fly from a series of GuideXML files). You'll notice many sections are shared between the handbooks.
