If you don't know what they all are, you might start with faqomatic:270 below. This FAQ is not maintained by Jon Howell. It's your FAQ, and its continued accuracy and growth depend on you submitting things you learn and expanding on the answers submitted by others. faqomatic:264 tells you more about this system. When you add things to the FAQ-O-Matic, please don't add questions without answers. Those belong on mailing lists. (faqomatic:279) This space is intended to have a higher answer-to-noise ratio. EndPart: 1 Part: 2 Author-Set: b.judd@xtra.co.nz Author-Set: conrad_hirano@yahoo.com HideAttributions: 1 LastModifiedSecs: 956406753 Type: Lines: 22 Please people do not add questions without answers. They will in all likelihood just get deleted. If you have a question, use the mailing lists or the #linuxppc channel on EFnet if you like IRC. If you want to add a new item, think about following a few suggested guidelines: 1. Find an appropriate place to put it. For example, placing a new item entitled "Will Linux work on my PowerBook G3" in the "Booting Trouble" section will probably not help a lot of people; however, if you place it in the "Hardware Compatibility" section, it may. If you are thinking of placing an item at the top level, i.e. this page, then you probably shouldn't. There has to be a better place. 2. Adding a new item without any text in it is beyond stupid. If you do, at least take the time to figure out how to delete it. (It's not hard.) 3. Are you about to add something that has been answered somewhere else? Maybe it has; maybe it hasn't. But if you add what you want to say to the bottom of someone else's closely related item, then won't that help someone looking for information more than if they have to look at two (or three or four) items?
