Again this is from list to list, so I CC list again. Please use Reply to List instead of simple Reply.

It is TDB or To Be Delivered. It means that content will be delivered as soon as possible. Yes, it would be easier to go there and finish that myself, but then I'll spoil your pleasure to learn. All you have to do is to take article: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/08/13/cliced-hybrids/ and copy to: http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick replacing abbreviation TDB, adjust format to look good, add warning that: "Using command dd will erase irreversibly all previous content on USB memory stick. Do not use memory sticks that contain important data, as there is no way to recreate them after LiveCD iso is transferred to USB. " That is about all. -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

No new page is not required. Instead of explanation here in email how I would do it, I created introduction and moved old part of the articles in section "openSUSE 11.1 and earlier", and your part is to replace TBD (to be delivered) with actual content :) -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

I'll CC this to opensuse-wiki mail list as this answer can be useful to other people that are thinking how to help around openSUSE wiki.

Why is that better? 1) It saves you work, 2) there is only one place where reference article exist (Wikipedia) and it is easier to maintain it; only on Wikipedia, instead on Wikipedia and openSUSE wiki, 3) general computer topics like PCI-X or CD & DVD does not exactly belong to openSUSE wiki, which should be about, well, openSUSE (community, distribution, openSUSE as Linux, hardware used under openSUSE, programs running under openSUSE, and so on) Here is a practical example how it should be done. If you see few articles that are asking for CD&DVD then just go to those articles and add link to Wikipedia article. That way instead day, or two spent on transcription and after that regularly going to wikipedia, check for changes, and update article on openSUSE wiki, you can in a single day solve 10-20 articles that are asking for such general terms. > Thanks once again or your help and support.

[opensuse-wiki] vmware pages
by Jon Reagan 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

hello everyone, I have been reviewing a section of the wiki that covers VMWare and OpenSUSE which has several outdated pages, specifically the page that covers installing OpenSUSE 9.1 as a guest system on VMWare. If it is ok, I would like to go ahead and begin work on this section and see what I can do to update the pages. Also, if I can go ahead and work on this section, should we keep the older guides on how to install the older systems or just delete them and create a new one? Thanks!
