Last Saturday 14 August 2004 22:54, Pete Bessman was like:
Absolutely,
This is the intention of the AGNULA project. Many of the points in my
DeMuDi-config-HOWTO are only there for if the autoconfig doesn't work out.
I'm looking forward to the entire piece becoming obsoleted.
Thanks for your reactions. More grist to the mill. :-)

Dave Phillips
has already made a damn good start on this one too.
http://www.agnula.org/documentation/dp_tutorials/ I'm trying to
figure out where the gaps are. No sense in duplicating effort. The
fact that you're on-list now saying YES! to documentation help makes
me think that Specimen deserves some attention.
Yeah, I didn't know this info was even out there. If these pieces
were synthesized into a cohesive whole and their existence advertised
in a public place that would make great inroads into acceptance.
Heck, the "synthesis" could just be one page with links to the
relevant docs in the recommended order of reading.
Another thing to consider is whether we can obviate the need for the
general installation and configuration docs. There is no technical
reason, IMHO, why we can't have a pro-audio oriented distro that
requires the same low level of involvement as Knoppix. This isn't
about pandering to drooling morons, but simply respecting other
people's time. If a given task is so programmatic that we can write a
HOWTO for it in recipe format, I think that's an indication that the
computer should be doing this for the user automatically.
