CentOS docs - Sep 2007 - Re: CentOS-docs Digest, Vol 13, Issue 2

HI! Friends,
I have recently shared my experiences while installing CentOS using a single
CD, then creating XEN VMs and sharing YUM repositories and stuff at my blog,
http://mytechrantings.blogspot.com/2007/08/centos-5-selinux-xen-squid-yum-cache.html
But
as per feedback I realized that it was to chaotic and full of ramblings and
was suggested to write some how tos.

I from my experience on Net relized that how tos expect this to be a perfect
world and miss ot things that can go wrong and generally will. So I decided
to write introductions/guides to diferent parts of the installation process
in a Q&A format. And to begin with I wrote an article on NFS, which is
available here
http://mytechrantings.blogspot.com/2007/08/nfs-network-file-system.html

Now I need to know about the other questions you might face with regards to
this and any trouble you might have faced during the setup. I expect to
complete it there, and once everyone feels it is sufficiently useful and
well written I want to publish it with the CentOS and Fedora Docs.

Also I want an opinion on the format. I am already working on two more
articles on Using Xen and Yum . ..  So would like to know all your opinions

Kind Regards,
Rohit

Yes, that isn't really fit for inclusion :)

This looks much better (although you have to correct the part about
automatically starting services, *always* use chkconfig there) and you
have to drop some "I have"s (or similar) in the text. See
<http://wiki.centos.org/HowToContribute/EditingCentOSWiki>.

But I don't see a problem including that on the wiki, somewhere in the
howto section.

There are still some grammatical problems "On server/On client"
instead
of "On the server/...", but not many of those.

Anyone else?

Cheers,

Ralph
