gentoo how-to's

taskara · Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2002 8:11 am Post subject: gentoo how-to's

there have been many good posts about how to get things working in gentoo.

maybe we can edit some and make a section for how-to's, where ppl can go and read and follow instructions, rather than seaching through hundreds of posts.

anyone else interested in putting some how-to's together ?

You can check at different sections and see how often questions have been asked, then create HOW-TO of those often questions to cut off.. After that, it's no excuse for people to not check at HOW-TO place nor use search function first before they post anything..

Oh, you're talking about html/text pages?
Right...

We can make a big FAQ using the question-answers from this forum too...

This actually sounds a lot like the Documentation forum that we already have, but I certainly agree that we should post more docs there because it's really tedious to search the BB everytime you have a question that you are sure has to have been addressed before. Plus, it would be a great resource for newbies. :-)
