[Fwd: Fedora Jargon: What's a kernel 'oops'?]

[Colin Charles]

Folks, it might not seem all that obvious that folks need to post
requests for more jargon busting to fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com ?

I've told Mike & Tracy already, so that saves everyone else the trouble
of writing back! But maybe we should make it more friendly?

I'm more than will to add odd entries.

Colin, are you suggesting we need a line or two in the jargon buster?


'Mail us if you want your next TLA or lump of jargon explaining'?

That sort of thing?

No problem.... If I can get a bit of a how to on getting
the darned thing out of CVS :-)
   I know Tammy tidied it up prior to putting it on site.

kernel,
   That bit in the middle that tastes better than the shell?

... An changing the subject... I came across
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/03/03/sgmlwiki.html
and got it working.

Apparently Rick is thinking along the same lines.

wiki input, xml output.
I'll document it sooner rather than later.
   Its really scary :-)

The instructions on http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ should work.
If not, let me know.

What should the mail-to be Tammy?
I'm assuming this list is subscribed only?
   May not seem worthwhile if its only 'what does kernel mean'?

Anyone know what the filename is for the glossary in cvs please?

cvs -co ?????

I've tried fedora-glossary jargon-buster
but no luck.


I can't find a command that lists available modules either.


Any help appreciated.

regards DaveP

It's in the fedora-docs module.  Just do 'cd fedora-docs/ && cvs up'.

If the modules module is up to date, you can get the full list with 'cvs
co -c'.
