Follow-up to ``How to upgrade to KDE 2.2.1 - a not quite newbies' guide''
I have already had some kind comments on the ``How to upgrade to KDE
2.2.1 - a not quite newbies' guide''. Thank you. Less than kind comments,
criticisms, suggestions for improvements, etc, etc all welcome.
<Banging head hard on keyboard>. A kind offer to host the draft on a
website reminded me that my ISP does offer Web space which I had in fact
been using to back up the webmaster of our church web site (see plug
below). There is enough space for two copies of a 14K document. The
URL is http://members.home.com/brucemiller1. BTW, I believe that I have
privately e-mailed copies to everyone who has asked to date. There have
been over thirty requests, so if you got missed, I am sorry; could you
download.
When the text is more finished, I would like to post it to a Web site where it
could be more readily found. Does anyone know if www.debian.org have
an area for informal contributions? The guide is not formal enough to be a
HOW-TO or even a mini-HOW-TO. Does anyone read
www.debianplanet.org ? or www.linuxnewbie.org ?
On the appearance of the guide: This was the first document that I have
drafted in AbiWord. As a work in progress, AbiWord has no help files. The
help documentation on the abisource Web site covers only the most basic
functions (everyone knows how to open files or change fonts; why not put
in something useful like how to insert a Web hyperlink ?? :-( The HTML
version of the guide is a straight ``Save as HTML'' from AbiWord's editing
screen. I am concentrating at the moment on content and will put the text
into better HTML once the content is nailed down.
Off-topic plug: Most of the web page space is given to two MP3s from the
Choir of St Matthew's Anglican Church in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The
musical tradition of the Anglican Church (the Episcopalian Church in the
USA) is not everyone's favourite, especially as it is based on choirs of men
and boys (boy sopranos, or ``trebles'' as they are known) but it is a
tradition that is centuries old and very beautiful. Our small central Ottawa
parish has a 45-year history of one of the finest church choirs in North
America. In the four years since our youngest son joined the choir, two
former Head Choristers have had soloist debuts at the Metropolitan Opera
in New York City. The CD from which these two MP3s were drawn was a
project to support the CAD 500,000 (US$ 350,000) project to restore the
church organ. The restoration is scheduled to be completed at the end of
November 2001.
