[Bug 1036643] New: Example 3.1 appears to mix references to 32- and 64-bit install DVD isos
by Red Hat Bugzilla 05 Aug '14

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1036643 Bug ID: 1036643 Summary: Example 3.1 appears to mix references to 32- and 64-bit install DVD isos Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Severity: low Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com Reporter: rpjday(a)crashcourse.ca QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co In Example 3.1 in the current install guide, the mount command refers to a 64-bit version of the ISO, but the final call to "livecd-iso-to-disk" refers to a 32-bit version of the ISO. Is this deliberate? It seems potentially confusing. rday -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

[Bug 991093] New: Innacurate information about deleting data in 12. Storage and partitioning
by Red Hat Bugzilla 05 Aug '14

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=991093 Bug ID: 991093 Summary: Innacurate information about deleting data in 12. Storage and partitioning Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com Reporter: pbokoc(a)redhat.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: oglesbyzm(a)gmail.com, pbokoc(a)redhat.com Below is a copypaste of two e-mails from docs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org explaining the issue. ================================================================================ Mail 1 from Adam Williamson: Someone on the forums kindly pointed out an inaccuracy in the Installation Guide: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Quick_Star… "All data will be erased during installation from the disks you select at this stage. Do not select disks that contain data you want to preserve." This is not correct. It would be correct to say that no data can *possibly* be deleted from any disks you *don't* select at this stage, but it is not true that all data will be removed from disks you *do* select. Suggesting that this is the case prevents people from following lots of common install paths. What actually happens to the data on the selected disks depends on the user's choices at Installation Options and 'custom partitioning' or Reclaim Space. If you go to custom partitioning, basically, you're in complete control of what happens; you can do all sorts of stuff from there, but no data/partitions will be lost unless you explicitly choose for that to happen. If the disk has sufficient unpartitioned space and you just pick the easiest 'install into empty space' path, no existing data will be disturbed, though any existing bootloader in the MBR will be overwritten (this is normal and has always been the case). If you go through Reclaim Space, you get the choice of what existing partitions to delete or resize. ===================================================================== Mail 2 from Chris Murphy: Yeah, the user actually needs to go to some extreme lengths to erase all data on the selected disk. In Custom, it's deleted one partition at a time, with an optional shortcut that popsup offering to delete all related partitions (which still may not be all data on disk). Further, a summary pops up and shows what will be deleted in red text. In Guided, user either must set each partition to be deleted, or click on the disk (make model number) and set it to delete which then shows all partitions being set to delete as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

[Bug 982656] New: A couple of suggestions for 9.17. Installation Complete

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982656 Bug ID: 982656 Summary: A couple of suggestions for 9.17. Installation Complete Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Keywords: Documentation Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com Reporter: pkovar(a)redhat.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: oglesbyzm(a)gmail.com, pbokoc(a)redhat.com Hey Petr, Just a couple of suggestions for section 9.17. Installation Complete "Now that you have configured the remaining settings, your Fedora installation is now complete!" --> "Now that you have configured the remaining settings, your Fedora installation is complete." "9.17.1. Initial Setup in GNOME" --> GNOME Initial Setup "haven't" --> "have not" "The Initial Setup application is only available for GNOME." This might need some rewording since we now have two initial setup apps in Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NewFirstboot, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/InitialExperience) that do almost the same thing, but target different DEs. "create an user account" --> "create a user account" "After you are finished configuring" --> "After you have finished configuring" "On the first login, the Gnome Help application will automatically open" The application is called Yelp, not Gnome Help. However, you probably just want to mention that "GNOME Help will automatically open...". "Figure 9.40. Language selection in Gnome Initial Setup" --> "Language selection in GNOME Initial Setup" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

[Bug 904083] New: Storage Administration Guide is obsolete or not?

Product: Fedora Documentation https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904083 Bug ID: 904083 Summary: Storage Administration Guide is obsolete or not? Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: storage-administration-guide Severity: medium Priority: unspecified Reporter: q2dg(a)yahoo.es I've seen in http://docs.fedoraproject.org that last version of "Storage Administration Guide" is for Fedora 14. It's more than two years ago!! I don't know if this fact is due to this guide doesn't need any update or if it's due to a lack of love from editors. I want to notify this in Bugzilla to remember this situation, but I'm not sure it is really a bug... Could you tell me the reason of this abandonment? Thanks!! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
