[Bug 1036643] New: Example 3.1 appears to mix references to 32- and 64-bit install DVD isos
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1036643
Bug ID: 1036643
Summary: Example 3.1 appears to mix references to 32- and
64-bit install DVD isos
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Severity: low
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Reporter: rpjday(a)crashcourse.ca
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co
In Example 3.1 in the current install guide, the mount command refers to a
64-bit version of the ISO, but the final call to "livecd-iso-to-disk" refers to
a 32-bit version of the ISO. Is this deliberate? It seems potentially
confusing.

[Bug 991093] New: Innacurate information about deleting data in 12. Storage and partitioning
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=991093
Bug ID: 991093
Summary: Innacurate information about deleting data in 12.
Storage and partitioning
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Reporter: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: oglesbyzm(a)gmail.com, pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Below is a copypaste of two e-mails from docs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
explaining the issue.
================================================================================
Mail 1 from Adam Williamson:
Someone on the forums kindly pointed out an inaccuracy in the
Installation Guide:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Quick_St...
"All data will be erased during installation from the disks you select
at this stage. Do not select disks that contain data you want to
preserve."
This is not correct. It would be correct to say that no data can
*possibly* be deleted from any disks you *don't* select at this stage,
but it is not true that all data will be removed from disks you *do*
select. Suggesting that this is the case prevents people from following
lots of common install paths.
What actually happens to the data on the selected disks depends on the
user's choices at Installation Options and 'custom partitioning' or
Reclaim Space. If you go to custom partitioning, basically, you're in
complete control of what happens; you can do all sorts of stuff from
there, but no data/partitions will be lost unless you explicitly choose
for that to happen.
If the disk has sufficient unpartitioned space and you just pick the
easiest 'install into empty space' path, no existing data will be
disturbed, though any existing bootloader in the MBR will be overwritten
(this is normal and has always been the case).
If you go through Reclaim Space, you get the choice of what existing
partitions to delete or resize.
=====================================================================
Mail 2 from Chris Murphy:
Yeah, the user actually needs to go to some extreme lengths to erase all data
on the selected disk. In Custom, it's deleted one partition at a time, with an
optional shortcut that popsup offering to delete all related partitions (which
still may not be all data on disk). Further, a summary pops up and shows what
will be deleted in red text.
In Guided, user either must set each partition to be deleted, or click on the
disk (make model number) and set it to delete which then shows all partitions
being set to delete as well.

[Bug 982656] New: A couple of suggestions for 9.17. Installation Complete
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982656
Bug ID: 982656
Summary: A couple of suggestions for 9.17. Installation
Complete
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Keywords: Documentation
Severity: unspecified
Priority: unspecified
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com

Hey Petr,
Just a couple of suggestions for section 9.17. Installation Complete
"Now that you have configured the remaining settings, your Fedora installation
is now complete!" --> "Now that you have configured the remaining settings,
your Fedora installation is complete."
"9.17.1. Initial Setup in GNOME" --> GNOME Initial Setup
"haven't" --> "have not"
"The Initial Setup application is only available for GNOME."
This might need some rewording since we now have two initial setup apps in
Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NewFirstboot,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/InitialExperience) that do almost the
same thing, but target different DEs.
"create an user account" --> "create a user account"
"After you are finished configuring" --> "After you have finished configuring"
"On the first login, the Gnome Help application will automatically open"
The application is called Yelp, not Gnome Help. However, you probably just want
to mention that "GNOME Help will automatically open...".
"Figure 9.40. Language selection in Gnome Initial Setup" --> "Language
selection in GNOME Initial Setup"

[Bug 904083] New: Storage Administration Guide is obsolete or not?
by Red Hat Bugzilla
Product: Fedora Documentation
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904083
Bug ID: 904083
Summary: Storage Administration Guide is obsolete or not?
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: storage-administration-guide
Severity: medium
Priority: unspecified
Reporter: q2dg(a)yahoo.es
I've seen in http://docs.fedoraproject.org that last version of "Storage
Administration Guide" is for Fedora 14. It's more than two years ago!!
I don't know if this fact is due to this guide doesn't need any update or if
it's due to a lack of love from editors.
I want to notify this in Bugzilla to remember this situation, but I'm not sure
it is really a bug...
Could you tell me the reason of this abandonment?
Thanks!!

I found a couple of typos in the elections guide. "perferences" should be
"preferences", and a "been" should be replaced with "being".
