2004 45 & 46 The Linux Documentation Project 2004-11-17 Noel Llopis wrote a mini-HOWTO on improving fonts on Mandrake (but his ideas are general and work on any distribution with KDE). The document is up for review at http://convexhull.com/mandrake_fonts.html and would be submitted to the LDP for inclusion in its collection. David S. Lawyer sent in updates to the documents that he maintains: The Modem-HOWTO v0.34 has information on distinctive ring workaround where you want the modem to answer phone calls only for certain types of rings like long, short, long, short, etc. The v1.11 of Plug-and-Play-HOWTO has a new sub-section on LPC bus in the "How do I Find Devices and How Are They Configured?" section. v2.23 of the Serial HOWTO has information on serial ports on motherboard likely ISA or LPC and also some quick help added. v.1.0.6 of Peter Jay Salzman's Linux Gamer's HOWTO has new information on OpenAL and libraries. Few typos have been fixed and the document has also been translated into Hungarian. Mendel Cooper did a few minor updates to his Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide and released v3.1. Artemiy I. Pavlov's SquashFS HOWTO v1.6 has been changed to catch-up with the SquashFS release 2.0. There are few minor text corrections as well. Ram Samudrala submitted v1.31 of his Linux Cluster HOWTO. The document discusses setting up high-performance Linux computing clusters. The v2.5 of Andries Brouwer's Large Disk HOWTO has more information on disk geometry and the 1024 cylinder and other limits for disks. The LDP review process A lot of people had complaints that The LDP's review processes were getting in the way of new documents making their way into the collection. People suggested watermarking documents that have been reviewed (or the opposite) and distinguishing between the documents that have been through the review process and the documents that have not been.
