Installation Troubleshooting information.

[Pat Costello <Patrick Costello Sun COM>]

Malcolm, 

My first instinct is that the material you are talking about in the attached 
mail is more suitable for an Installation Guide treatment. Whereas we might not 
be able to include your material into the GNOME System Admin Guide, we might be 
able to collaborate with an Installation Guide. At the moment the Sun docs team 
is only working on a GNOME on Solaris Installation Guide, but there may well be 
parallels. If you make the material that you have got so far available, I can 
have a look through it and get a better idea of where we could use the 
information. 

Pat
