Right now the text reads: "For more information on these, refer to Ch. 26, Using nis (^Reference) and Ch. 27, LDAP - A directory service (^Reference)." Now what is (^Reference), it can be anything like an encyclopedia or some some novel?? I have the feeling that it is variable that is not populated. I think that the sentence should read (e.g.): "For more information on these, refer to Ch. 26, Using nis (^1) and Ch. 27, LDAP - A directory service (^1)." With an explanation of (^1) somewhere in the appendix, what (^1) is: Appendix references ------------------------ 1. opensuse-manual_en to be found at /usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual or http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse102/ BTW: nice to know that the opensuse-manual_en is still available :)) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230664 ------- Comment #5 from richard.bos@xs4all.nl 2007-01-09 12:11 MST ------- Pfff, now it's fully clear... I read the "Documentation Conventions" yesterday, but that did not make it clear (enough). I think that when the last bullet would be: "Dancing Penquins (Chapter Penguins, ^Another Book): This is a reference to a chapter in another book." that it would have clearer. Further more I skimmed the chapter with Additional Documentation and have seen the word(!) Reference, never realizing that it is the title of a book. Now the opensuse-manual (/usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/) and Reference (http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse102/ -> reference) are exactly the same books, but rendered differently. Just refer to the opensuse-manual instead of Reference, that would have prevent all confusion: "For more information on these, refer to Ch. 26, Using nis (^opensuse manual) and Ch. 27, LDAP - A directory service (^opensuse manual)." Another suggestion that would have helped me (and I think others): - Add the books to the index at the back of book, or have them mentioned in a seperate appendix. I mean I have searched the book (index, appendix), before I opened the bug, but I did not find what I looked for (which is the book Reference....) I hope that you'll remove this confusion from the start-up guide! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
