High Level Action List
Guys,
I've installed the C4C ReSpin of 14.04.2 on a 64-bit machine and made
both a High Level Action List called "Bullet-Points" and one with more
detail called "Bullet-List-Expanded" (sorry - couldn't help it) attached
to this email and uploaded to the C4C shared folder. I've also uploaded
a zipped 1404-2 folder with all the files I used and reference in the
Bullet-List-Expanded text file.
I release now why Greg was confused about why I was un-installing apps.
It was because I never could get what I wanted to start with by
installing the Lubuntu-base - I always started with Lubuntu Desktop.
Plus everything on my home network has a static IP, so it's easier to
set the Internet connection from a Desktop ISO to do the initial install.
Anyway - I hope I'm helping.
Eric

Hi Eric,
Just a suggestion; I would recommend using a .txt document rather than
.odt files for your high level doc. Text formatting is a bit of an art,
but when done properly, is reansferable to almost anything, likst
text2html for example.
Most developers prefer .txt docs for Emails as well as procedures, as it
is much easier to read / edit / and merge.
It can take a while to get used too, but in the long run, allot of
documentation for things in Linux are written in plain-txt: How-To's,
README, INSTALL, all that stuff is always in plain-txt. It also makes
copy & past work much better :-)
best regards,
Greg.
