[Bug 483000] New: Can we Offer the Start-up Guide that Comes with the Commercial Package of Opensuse in PDF Next to the Software Download in 11.2
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483000 Summary: Can we Offer the Start-up Guide that Comes with the Commercial Package of Opensuse in PDF Next to the Software Download in 11.2 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation AssignedTo: ke@novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: ke@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1 Firefox/3.0.6 I cannot easily find a way of obtaining the .PDF file of the start-up guide that comes with the commercial purchase of OpenSuse. Could we offer the same .pdf next to the software download when we offer our RC in opensuse 11.2 Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: I have major difficulties in obtaining the software start-up guide for opensuse - It moves position with each new software release. Expected Results: We could offer the start-up guide that comes with the commercial purchase of the boxed version of opensuse 11.2 in a .PDF form right next to the software download of 11.2 in the future as an enhancement to documentation ease of locating and expected benefits - If we do this the normal counter for the number of downloads should be placed on the .PDF if we offer it next to the Software Download of 11.2 to gauge future success and justification. -- 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.

I think the start-up guide should sit in the same place as setp 4. This space needs dividing into two so that we can add a step 5 being. . I will amend more accurate title of this bug. Having front screen space as a step 5 - Download optional Start-up guide. We have plenty of screen space that sits on most peoples screen res at step 4. We leave the start-up guide download well off the screen of most all. At http://software.opensuse.org/ Most people will not read anywhere past start download unless they can immediately see it We can at lest try. You are probably in a better position to judge with download numbers of start-up guide at its current position -- 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.

This could or should happen at several places: http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation Or better a dedicated documentation page for every openSUSE release.
From the release notes we probably point to http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation.
Note, that we ship the books also as regular RPM packages ready to be installed with yast: See http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse/noarch/opensuse... BTW, I do not understand what is meant with "after current step 4". Do you mean changing the installation workflow? If yes, please use openFATE for this chage request: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenFATE -- 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.

I would believe that the startup guide is not ever seen on the first page and after the last instruction to download the user reads no further - I would suggest that if you have the download step incorporated in the software download as an option we should do much better with our documentation. -- 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.
