Ah yes, Ethan was that person, right. I couldn't remember his name and
was too lazy to check my mailboxes for it :) I thought at that time
that Ethan is responsible for yaboot itself and Chris for the howto -
but I don't know about what they discussed in the meantime.

Thanks for that clearification, was just a little be puzzled by another
person jumping in that I simply didn't know yet (in that context, that
is).

Were they combined in a single sgml file yet? I guess someone could do
a script that extracts the sgml version from the CVS and generate the
pages from that - I don't like to see them disapear from the webpage,
there are good reasons to have them there.
So, could you give us a hint where the CVS version is so someone could
work on that script to get it from there?
And, a personal thing: Could you keep in mind to inform me when the
english version of the howto is changed so I can update the translation?
Would be great if it could be done in a webwml translation-check diff
form that is easy to watch, but I could do that myself if I'm informed
of changes and told the cvs repository.
Have fun,
Alfie
