2004 50 & 51 The Linux Documentation Project 2004-12-22 . . . Luis Lima posted a HOWTO on using Netinstaller to install Debian. Ian Hakes finally got approval from IBM to submit his DB2 HOWTO. It should pass pretty fast because it has already been reviewed internally by IBM. Avy Alkalay put together the old Font HOWTO and the FDU HOWTO and did a great deal of rewriting in the new FONT HOWTO. At the request of the author, the FDU HOWTO will be removed to the Obsolete section. . . . Paul Chavent made a start with a Gameboy Advance Programming HOWTO (French only for the moment, Machtelt Garrels proposed to translate in English). He argues that while the GBA becomes obsolete, it is a cheap way to study embedded Linux. Samdeep Nayak proposes to write about SCSI internals for the 2.6 kernels. . . . . . . Mirror troubles There were some troubles on our servers which made it impossible for our mirror maintainers to synchronize. The Ibiblio support team assures us that everything is running OK now. Remember that you have to use a command similar to the following in order to start the synchronization process: rsync -avz --delete ftp.ibiblio.org::ldp_mirror /your_path_to/LDP In January, all maintainers will be contacted again to check that their mirror and contact information is still up to date and that their mirrors are running in sync. Printed Books The Printed Books section will be cleaned out. If you know about any printed versions (original or translations) of TLDP documents, let us know: title and/or ISBN of the publication, author, publisher, short book or document content if available.
