The Linux Documentation Project Weekly News
New documents @ TLDP
Not actually a new document, but Artemio I. Pavlo thinks
it is now worthy of the version number 1.0, and since all
one-dot-ooooh's come here, his is not exception. So here is the possibly nearly bug free SquashFS HOWTO.
New document proposals
Kurt Swendson wants you to have a look at this Beowulf Cluster HOWTO. While
we already have a HOWTO about the same subject, he argues
that the current document is more of a broad background and introduction
to clustering, it needs a practical addition and his document is truly a
how-to, with step by step instructions. Secure access to the
cluster is not covered yet.
Updated HOWTOs, FAQs and Guides
Adrian Offerman's MMBase Installation
HOWTO v0.2.5 contains minor corrections and the Creative Commons
copyright license has been adjusted.
The LDAP HOWTO v1.09 by Luiz Ernesto Pinheiro Malère covers v2.2.x of the OpenLDAP package and has some general corrections.
Anthony Lissot provided us with an update of the Partition HOWTO. V3.4.4
resolves the inconsistencies between the HTML and XML formats and the
sections on LILO placement has been updated along with the swap size
discussion.
Updated code examples in the Custom Linux Porting Guide by Shie Erlich. This guide is intended as a worksheet and general advise to porting Linux to a custom PPC board.
It highlights pitfalls and critical points in the porting process.
