I've seen kernel 2.6.29.4 and Slackware 12.0.0 for instance. + +* cron + +* more extensive CLI apps like v2.0 + +Chapter 3. Booting +* Section 'mkinitrd' + +* /usr/share/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh + + "Now that we've created out initrd" -> "Now that we've created our initrd" + "most of these warnings are issued by the use of LVM" << I think that at this point of the book, people will be scared off by the unfamiliar 'LVM' and listing "/dev/raven/64root" as a root device may be confusing to people who expect something like "/dev/sda1". Better to discuss LVM later on. + +Chapter 4. Basic Shell Commands +* Table 4.1. Man Page Sections + + Add Section 9 "kernel API description" + Add Section n "New" - typically used for Tcl/Tk man pages + +Chapter 6. X Windows + +* Section 'configuring the X server' + + "The second most popular way to configure X on your system is the handy xorgconfig(1)." << Factually, this is no longer true. The xorgconfig and xorgcfg utilities have been removed as per Slackware 13.0. What you *should* mention is that the X in Slackware will auto-configure itself if a xorg.conf file is missing (or will automatically configure components for any sections that are missing from an existing xorg.conf using the information it receives from the HAL daemon) + +Chapter 8. Users and Groups + +* Section 'Other User and Group Tools' + + You could mention the tool here that is most sought after in IRC and forums: the "gpasswd" program whicl allows you to add a user to one additional group without touching on your current group management (remember that "usermod -G" will not retain your current group membership while "gpasswd -a" will). + +Chapter 10. Working with Filesystems + +* Section 'Local Filesystem Types' + + Do not forget to mention ext4. + +* Section 'Network Filesystems' / 'NFS' + + You could mention here how the command "showmount -e <remote_server> " allows you to find out exactly what NFS exports a remote server has made available. + +Chapter 11. vi + +* Table 11.2. vi Cheat Sheet + + You should really add "dw" (delete a word - and store it in the copybuffer) "yw" (copy a word to the copy buffer), "yy" (copy a line to the copy buffer) and "p" (paste the content of the copybuffer at the cursor's location) + |
