I studied the complete document yesteday and I feel that I could be of
help in reviewing it.
I see that it is a very big document and focuses on Kernel 2.2 only, the
revision should focus on Kernel 2.4 and 2.6.
Apart from this few pages where supported hardware list is presented in
the documents,a link to Linux Hardware Compatiblity list
Would be better.
- Commands illustrated is to be corrected.
- At few places where man page details are explained could be replaced
with fewer necessary information(after discussion) and then direct the
reader to the manual.
If I be allowed, I would like to take up the document and work on it. I
feel that it would take me approximately 1 OR 2 months.
Thanks!
