For the documentation to be accepted to GNU project contributors have to sign legal papers. Now I'm going to comment on value of manual: "Installation via Package Management" is distribution-specific so it's inappropriate for upstream manual "Building / Installation from Source" is a part of INSTALL and we already have this "Utilities" - description of tools is inappropriate. User doesn't care if it's ELF or text file but how to use them. "Pre-Boot" - is wrong. MBR doesn't point anywhere it's executable code. "grub-rescue" part is wrong too "Lua shell" is part of grub-extras, not grub itself. In whole the manual is vague, contains inappropriate or inexact informati= on. If we merge any part of this manual into bzr we would need to proofread every patch > Enjoy, > Bruce. > -----------------------------------------------------------------------= - > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > =20 --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig78307CEB79FAE27DC7D38670 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iF4EAREKAAYFAks8ih4ACgkQNak7dOguQgnaCgEAgLl8HNzw5bS1ZZH03PT7Jozv 2zJRfNu1zq8f6lKBPLQBALiBlVIFNWnddADw04bWv01GwWeT7bFpLAcaMspikrdj =rFFI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig78307CEB79FAE27DC7D38670--
