Re: [Gnewsense-dev] gNewSense on Lemote YeeLoong for Absolute Beginners

Awesome!

Attached is the Texinfo source (gns.texi), the PDF output (gns.pdf) and a compressed file containing HTML outputs from the texi file.

Texinfo looked much harder than it really is at a first glimpse.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Best regards,
Cato

Hi,

I have written a guide/manual/text in Texinfo about how to install gNewSense on a Lemote YeeLoong.
The manual explains in extremely simple terms how to install the operating system so that even your common
GNU/Linux newcomer can manage to do it. I must note that I am not a part of the Documentation Team or anything,
and wrote this mostly because I want to learn about writing documentation in Texinfo and I have nothing else to write about.

Anyhow, to write this manual I needed to include a fair part from the gNewSenseToMIPS page on the wiki and as far as I
can see, there is no note or anything about a license for the information on the wiki. So my question is mostly:

1) According to GFDL I am required to include attributes to the "original authors", now, since there is no other
"original author" to this exact manual, alot of information is taken/copied from the wiki, should I attribute this to anyone?
If so, who?

2) Would it be of any interest if I upload this to the wiki and include a link to it on the gNewSenseToMIPS page?

3) I would love if anyone would do me the favor of proofreading the manual or give me any feedback on the content.

I was thinking about sending out the manual on gnewsense-users mailing list once I get it formatted properly.

I don't think I've ever written any Texinfo, but would be happy to proof read your documentation and learn Texinfo along the way.

regards,

Kim
