Missed one correction that Gordon had sent to me, not going to change it now for the onboard html, but it will be correct online in a couple of minutes:

In Section 2.2.2, the paragraph about GPG Signature: "Detailed omstructions about how to run this security check..." That it should have been "instructions" is obvious to everyone--except the person who was writing it.

Fixed the "omstructions" in the mx-docs version.

Edit: The graphics seem notably smaller. Were some removed?

Yes, Gordon went through and removed a lot of cruft.

All that are needed are still there.

Also, pdf is on it's way 10 minutes ago. Updates to the published Sections 1 & 3 translations will follow asap.

I would like to clarify a little list:
  • New section on our mirrors (5.2.5)
    New paragraph 4.7.1 on "Running a root application"
    Rewritten 2.2.2 to include signed ISOs
    Expansion of VPN in 3.4 with link to Wiki
    Addition of gdevilspie to 3.8.2
    Addition on installed cheatcodes in 2.4.2
    Addition to section on font configuration in 3.3.3
    Addition to section 3.1.4
    New section on Storage (3.1.5)
    Minor change to Wine discussion 6.1.1 (with expanded Wiki entry)
    addition to Skype troubleshooting 4.1.3
and I translated these changes, they are in the cloud, in LO format - https://cloud.mail.ru/public/962x/GbNWLFxne
These pieces will have, of course, to insert once manually, because the formatting may be different. So far, I have the translated text, and it is good in itself.

"omstructions".-. Isn't that when you meditate on what to write next?

"the pdf is up"

up? where is up?
Asking because I've skimmed the wiki, the html version of the manual, several discussion threads and haven't found a link to download the pdf version.

You do not see the Manuals tab on the forum index page?

aha, thanks. Nope, i hadn't noticed that link.
Wowo it's pretty awesome!

A link to it reachable from http://www.mepiscommunity.org without needing to pass through the forum would be convenient.
Also, seems sensible to add a link to it right within the html version, stating "downloadable PDF version of this manual is available here (link)"
