True. What I find is often the fringe or edge cases are not discussed. It's not that folks responsible for the pages do not want that sort of extra information, particular from proven, resourceful community members, it that those folks fail to file doc bugs on bgo proposing those enhancements. YOU can do that minimally, and before long (I think) you'll be able to edit some pages either directly or post them as attachments to the corresponding bug report. > At the very least, someone with enough privileges has visited the page. More work on the accuracy and completeness of the gentoo wiki is definitely warranted, so just file bgo reports of your ideas for enhancements. Welcome back, Harry...... James
