General * Aim to update references to kernel versions and Slackware versions to those used in the most recent release of Slackware. I've seen kernel 2.6.29.4 and Slackware 12.0.0 for instance. * more extensive CLI apps like v2.0 * no idea where the hell udev is covered in here, but we need to do a bit of talk about it. Nothing too advanced, and we definitely DO NOT want to imply that users should have to do much with udev. All of the asshattery out there with trying to automount shit with udev is, well, asshattery. * need to mention that /etc/udev/rules.d/ overrides an identically named file in /lib/udev/rules.d/ * need to mention persistent rules that are system-generated, especially in reference to how the admin might be misled into thinking that they are causing breakage... Chapter 2. Installation * Section 'Booting the Installer' Does this need to be reworked? Feels kinda kludgy and amateur. * At the tail end we might wish to tell the user about adduser and inform him that he can skip ahead to chapter 9 briefly if he needs more info. Chapter 4. Basic Shell Commands * Section 'Reading Documents' Perhaps split this with subsections for cat, more, and less? 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) * note that HAL is slated for deprecation and this might be handled by udev directly at some point in the future... Chapter 10. Working with Filesystems * Section 'Network Filesystems' / 'NFS' You could mention here how the command "showmount -e " allows you to find out exactly what NFS exports a remote server has made available. Chapter 16. Basic Networking Commands * Additional tools to discuss: finger, host, dig, pine, mutt, nail
