When I'm setting up new chroots or other test installs, I frequently only look up information from the first pages of the handbook, like what's the exact command to unpack the stage or what's the right order of steps. Setting up the logger, cron and so on usually doesn't require referring to the handbook. > It's tough to know how long an installation sticks around, but that man= y=20 > new installs per day is pretty impressive. Yeah, and also it looks like the interest in arches like sparc, ppc, hppa and so on is much higher than what I expected. That's great! --------------enig67212B5189D7A8B2FF84F705 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk3PqxkACgkQuUQtlDBCeQL9hQCeJeCuMBl0A7djXnMtTMDR9y/y fi4AnREb+9HpjsnKih5iPENJ1x5RjpdO =SxvF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig67212B5189D7A8B2FF84F705--
