Core book - topic listing
curaga:
Background:
--- Quote ---I've had this idea of writing a book on Core, fully current for one release, with chapters describing the internals, some on projects to use Core for, some focusing on boot time etc. I was thinking both the pdf and ascii sources would be freely available online, dead tree version available at some cost.
My schedule is fairly full for this year, so it'll probably get started next year.

Initial section divide:
--- Quote ---Part I - intro, basic use
Part II - advanced use
Part III - internals
Part IV - project topics (chapters on how to do a specific setup)
--- End quote ---
To the point. What would you like to see a chapter on?
Any topic that's currently under-documented? Anything that would need some in-depth description?
Also, if you'd like to write a chapter or a few, great! I'd especially like to hear of unique setups for the projects part, but anything is welcome.
Any comments welcome, about these parts or anything related.

"Installing" ?? would be a huge chapter.. :P
It's the most miss-understood aspect of tc I think

But what makes this book any different from the wiki..?

Some people prefer hardcover over electronic documentation ;)
Then it's a bit different approach, bringing the reader up to speed gradually, while I see the wiki as more of a set of how-to resources.

I'm envisioning Part IV as a collection of use cases, supplied by users describing their own systems in some detail? A general purpose desktop, a samba server, a web server, a portable boot device, etc etc etc.
If its not too far out of scope, I'd be interested in a PART V describing some of the remixes that are out there... not so much for the creators of such to tout their own distribution but to describe the "why" and the "how" of remastering. Maybe enlist Svolli, JLS, Grandma and/or some others it they are willing? And including personal, undistributed remasters, again assuming a willing author can be found.
Chapters or sections pertaining to very new hardware (missing drivers and such) and very old hardware (can't boot from USB, low memory and such) would probably be of interest.
