ok,
i thought so as well... sorry :)

so i use lyx/tetex and export it as pdfdiv something, because pdflatex or something is too big when exported. but hope that document is still readable...


well, perhaps the picture quality is not super good... :(

i agree, it is good to port this to wiki. i will do that in future. but at the moment, i need to construct the "backbone" first on the pdf to set the format and all that thing (because doing that on the web/wiki is very tiresome work)


just to start things out:

http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php/Zenwa ... nion_Draft

no pictures yet, tho

;D

thank you very much!!! although i really need to sort out a few things on that chapter. some mentioned that i could categorise things better (or where to find them in the menu bar, perhaps, is also good). i also need to update that chapter... hahaha loads of things to do. in fact, i also want to add the "zenwalk community" under the author as well, because without them i could not write this. so... :)

thank you for porting this to the wiki :) i really appreacitate that.

best wishes

P.S. i will be away for holidays for a month (yeah yeah... this is a stupid thing in my work place, i cannot choose when i can take holidays, they tell me when i can take holidays. and i get a month break in august. if you need the original lyx file, i can uploaded for you. just let me know on the forum or by PM. cheers

I don't think it needs to be said twice! 


... Absolutely great idea.  I'm sure a lot of people will find this useful, I know I will.

Hi tsuren.

Fantastic guide. Just wondering why you chose to put it in a PDF? Also wondering if you could be convinced in putting it somewhere more official - as for example in the wiki? (in the wiki it may or may not be a link to a PDF file ... you could choose to put the graphics directly in the wiki). Admittedly the print looks great (Latex, if I am not mistaken).

Best regards,
Claus
