The question is, do they have those tools available for those pages? They might, I have no idea. That would be a good idea. That way one could view the whole thing, just certain parts or whatever. If they have a way to select several options, that would be good. Have one spot to select BIOS or efi. Another spot to select openrc and systemd. Kinda like they do on sites where they help you build a puter. Select CPU is usually first, then mobo, then memory and so on. That number of options would help the docs a lot. I miss that too. To be honest, I thought about copying each page and pasting them into a LOo document. Then I can print it or just view it as one page. I've done things like that for other sites as well. It also allows me to edit out things I'll never need. Make it printer friendly even if the page isn't. I just realized, my new rig will almost certainly be efi. I kinda dread that. At least it is well documented tho. Should be easy enough. I hope. o_O Dale :-) :-)
