Howto Section 3.2

[hugo v. <hug...@ca...>]

Hi Svetjlo!

I don't get Section 3.2, the beginning, but may
be my "getting capability" is low, 

1. what does it mean when it says:

You have to follow this order

2. In the subsequent list I cannot find in my
.config "virtual terminal support"

3. In the next point: You have to use built in
input support: I cannot find either "input core
support"

BTW if you want help with the maintenance of the
Howto I will be glad to help. I now use
Hyperlatex: that gives you html support through a
tex file and so you get the pdf and the html both
at the same time by just maintaining the .tex file.

the notes were ment as addition to the deskription 
on compiling a kernel which are on Aivils web site,
i probably have to add a not about this :-)

you wont find it cause it's named differently :)
you shouldn't edit your .config with an editor
you should use "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"

i thought there were snapshots at Aivils site 
but it seems they are missing
you can check them here

Aivils,
i think you have the snapshots on your site,
but the links seems to be missing.
me missed smth? or the links got lost somehow? :)

look for links "mc" & "xc" arround the descriptions

i'm using the prefered format by tldp.org (docbook xml)
which allows from a single xml file to get pdf, html (single, multi-page). txt
and some other formats too.

any help is wellcome :-)
if you have some time
check my web site http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/ -> linux
in the how-to section are listed some really "nice to have" things 
i have a mixed TODO :-)
and you can find on several places in the HOWTO
things that needs feedback, or are marked as experimental
(reason tested only by me, or the like)

from the things i wish to add( not yet listed)
- bruby + ltsp/ k12ltsp
- using indepenedent USB/ firewire devices
- is it possible to use a multi-chanel sound card instead of 2 dual-chanel cards
for 2 independent users ( i had in mind to write to alsa project, but ...)
- really test Matrox MMS series ( toooooo expensive)
- had some more thoughts but can not remmember right now :(
- write to the author of gdm, and ask him whether gdm2 will support
  different themes for different displays

so, if you have time, there are lot of things to do :-)

best,

svetljo
