Yes, you are right: full embarassing because if I really like Linux
this is because I like much to read Howtos, Readme, Release-notes,
changelog and everythink in text form comes with an installed
package. This kind of text is so ... human, compared with Windows
help files, that seems produced with an Artificial-Intelligence tool.
I have just read the two part of "PGP User Guide", by P. Zimmermann:
two piece of art, at the cost of paper, for me. I like much the
Zimmermann english. I'm studing him, in the purpose to ampliate my
vocabulary (for grammar, I've no hope: this requires regular
courses at school).
Zimmermann is a very, very clever guy: it added
in pgp a routine that detect if manual are absent from the system
and it refuse to work.
How to add a similar feature in muLinux? Can I add some question,
at random intervall, and if user can't answer, I will shutdown
the machine? :-))
Example:
Q: what is the major number of the second floppy driver?
Q: what release number are you running?
Q: is a floppy 1722k really a different media from 1440k?
Q: where the kernel you are running is located?
Q: Please, write down the name of the Linux kernel Author
Q: Miquel van Smoorenburg, chi era costui?
and so on.
Answers in "close" format such "1. x 2: y " are welcome.
If someone on the list like to realize a similar training daemon,
I will add in muLinux ad it will run via "cron" at fix interval.
Much schools like to have it.
Michele
