[Fwd: Re: Testing the Fedora 11 Installation Guide]

Hi Docs team,

I didn't know if the IG guru was on fedora-test-list.  This seemed
like a worthwhile suggestion; maybe the author could be persuaded to
file a bug!

PWF.

Should section 7.2 of the install guide have more detail about this
feature? 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NewTextUI

As the developer himself recommends, should users be recommended to try
xdriver=vesa before resorting to text mode?

Thanks Paul for the heads-up.

This is a link to the version 10
guide. The version 11 guide is 
substantially different from its predecessor, so the version 10 guide 
should not be used for testing. Testers should instead use a copy of the 
version 11 guide from here: 
http://rlandmann.fedorapeople.org/Installation%20Guide/ (available in 
HTML, HTML-single and PDF)

As it turns out, I think that Gireesh's comment applies to the new 
version of the guide anyway, because section 7.2 of the old guide wasn't 
about text mode  ("7.2. RAID or Other Nonstandard Configurations")

Great idea. I've covered the
changes in text mode at a couple of other 
points in the guide, but missed this obvious one! :)

Cheers

Ugghh - I thought they were going to point to the current build which
I am hosting on fedorapeople.
