I went to greg's site, looked around and built this package. It shows up, in chapter form under /usr/share. I used 'elogv' to look at the directional output. Scant. So I'm not sure how to discover the gui/tools one would used, other and manually looking at the chapters one at a time. I quick look at the gentoo wiki revealed little how to access this or other /usr/share/ documents; perhaps I have missed the obvious reference pages on those documentation systems? Sure, it's an old doc, but it could be useful? I bring this up as maybe a tie-in doc to the GSoC kernel build work that is currently being performed. [1] Personally, with gentoo being a strong embedded distro, and the IoT movement bringing in lots of new hardware to the linux world, I think these old documents are still valuable for the learning the basics process, particularly related to small and minimized gentoo systems. As such, I am willing to help, but, first I think a comprehensive discussion on documentation on gentoo to tie in all the new, wonderful additions in the gentoo wiki, to some/most of the traditionally available documentation sources, is warranted. Decide what to keep and integrate those resoureces so that they 'flow' one to another for the gentoo community. There are also, many new documentation resources on github and similar sites, so those need to be 'integrated' too. A pattern or template for devs to follow possible?
