One problem is that the LDP docs that are being well maintained (and
|
|
thus are of the most interest) come out with new versions frequently
|
|
so that unfortunately the CD will rapidly become obsolete. Another
|
|
problem is that it doesn't fit into the package management schemes of
|
|
the various distributions. Many recipients would rather install a
|
|
rpm or Debian package. That way when they get an updated versions it
|
|
will automatically delete the old from their HD. If they install docs
|
|
from our CD they may wind up with 2 directory trees of LDP docs and
|
|
not be sure which one is the best to use.
|
|
|
|
Of course they could just keep it on the CD but then they may need to
|
|
keep manually inserting the CD in the drive if they use other CDs.
|
|
But since CDs cost so little it may be worthwhile to distribute them.
|
|
Some people may not have any other convenient way of getting LDP docs.
|
|
Perhaps we should sell them at the cost of making the CD. Then people
|
|
who have better ways of getting the HOWTOs might not take the CD.
|
|
|
|
Regarding the snow, I phoned the hotel 800 number in advance of going
|
|
there and was over-prepared for it. Although I wore sandals I took
|
|
along hiking boots which I never needed. I even contemplated taking
|
|
skis.
