SELinux FAQ editor request
by Karsten Wade
Howdy all:
I'm getting ready to post the SELinux FAQ for FC3test2, and it has been
a little while since it has received an edit.
http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/fc3/selinux-faq-en/
http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/fc3/selinux-faq-en-fc3test2-xm...
>From CVS:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@rhlinux.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
cvs -z3 login
cvs -z3 co fedora-docs/selinux-faq/
To be honest, it's in pretty good shape; language can always be tweaked,
but I'd be surprised if there were any errors. Technical content should
be accurate, but I'd like someone to confirm. :)
I've updated the XML usage to (hopefully) reflect our current usage.
This might be a good learning tool for someone ready to edit and who
wants to learn more about how we use DocBook in FDP, as well as get a
crash primer on SELinux.
Because of release timing I may have to go live before I can get an
editor's approval. I can quickly fix anything, if that appeases my
breaking the process. ;-D
thx - Karsten

Stylesheet for <example>
by Paul W. Frields
I would like to see <example> sections take on a different rendered
style, somewhat like the <screen> sections. I think the right way to do
this is with an outlined box, but without changing the shade (BG color).
That should keep an <example> distinct from a <screen>.
I hope this doesn't sound trivial in the face of other work; I was
actually doing substantial FDP work when the subject came up. As I was
showing my wife a section of text I had written, which included several
<example>s, she commented that the HTML rendering was confusing because
the <example> content itself does not significantly differ from the
surrounding <para> content. On top of that, the caption appears below
the content.
We agreed that the caption is nice to have under the content for a
professional appearance, but only if the example is in some way
separated from the rest of the text. I thought introducing yet another
color of shading was excessive. We already have blue for admonitions and
gray for <screen>. Red sets the <section> headers apart. I think simply
outlining the area and increasing the margin slightly would do the
trick.
I will Bugzilla a RFE for this change to css/fedora.css shortly, but I
thought I would solicit a few comments before I commit the bug.

by Sarah Wang
I read through the documentation guide but didn't find any tags for
embedding screenshots in xml files. Where can I find that information?
Thanks,

I think that I'll probably use this format:
<para><remark role="FIXME">SCREENSHOT - (name of screen and window),
(description of requirement)</remark></para>
<para><remark role="FIXME">LINK - (name of unwritten
section)</remark></para>
<para><remark role="FIXME">TECHQUERY - (description of technical detail
that needs to checked) </remark></para>

OK. I'll press on with the text.

Hardening Doc Preview
by tuxxer
Hey guys.
I'm posting a draft version of what I've got so far of the hardening doc
in my own web-space. It's not much, but it will be updated rather
randomly, as I get chances to work on it. There isn't a "draft"
statement on it at the moment (other than the title), but I'm working on
that, and it will be there shortly.
Link: http://members.cox.net/tuxxer/
I'll be posting the XML to the bug, once I've finished chapter 1.
Please feel free to comment, critique, shred, etc.
-Charlie

new DocBook packages...
by Mark Johnson
Hi All,
I've built a Simplified DocBook package (aka docbook-simple) and a
DocBook Slides package (docbook-slides). They're available here:
http://people.redhat.com/mjohnson/packages/RPMS/
I'm wondering if the docbook-simple package might be useful as part
of the standard fedora-docs toolkit??
Cheers,
Mark

does mkbootdisk work in Fedora Core 2?
by John Wheelock
I have created a bootdisk for Kernel 2.6.8-1.521, but am unable to use
it.
After rebooting I get the error message
"Could not find kernel image: linux"
boot: (flashing curser)
I'm sure I have successfully rebooted from a floppy in earlier versions.
Any ideas?
