This thread is for feedback on the corrected and updated version just posted. We are interested in any

--corrections
--changes
--additions
--revised graphics (some are kind of dull, others now wrong)
--help with changes for Xfce 4.12, much of which will be in Section 3 I believe

Thanks to everybody for their help on this project!

OK, this is kind of related to the new manual.

At the bottom of the download page here: http://www.mepiscommunity.org/download-links

the reader is referred to a link for the PAE vs non-PAE explanation.

This link is now broken and should be changed to point to section 2.1.1 of the new manual.

Man, I thought we had updated all the links. Thanks!

There is a complete revision about to come out, and I will make sure that that link points to the right place.

EDIT: changed for now to: http://www.mepiscommunity.org/user_manu ... ection-2.1

Reminder to self (found when going through rc2 menu): 1) it is lm-sensors, not lm_sensors and 2) it is installed now by default

Done

3.3.3
figure 32 'grafix/3.3.4 Fonts.png' is missing

3.8.3
last bullet before figure "got to Background" should be "go to Background"

3.3.3
figure 32 'grafix/3.3.4 Fonts.png' is missing
Now that's an error! I uploaded the missing file, and it should work now.

I don't understand why it is not there, b/c I first cleared out the online grafix folder, then copied the contents local one I had been using during development with Ctrl-a, and pasted it into the online folder. I knew the local copy of the Manual had all images correctly, because I had gone through and checked, so I never thought my upload process would result in one being missing.

Nothing like being cheered on by the Peanut Gallery.
