Is RedHat playing a joke on us?

Ok, I must say that the copy of RedHat's PowerTools I have is amongst the first ones on the market, but what a core... a chore on the shore with a whore it is to install! First, I made a few errors of my own because I hadn't gone through the installation manual. To the people you don't appreciate mumbo-jumbo like: ------------------------- 2.3.2 Installing From a CD-ROM If you have a Red Hat Linux CD-ROM, and your computer has a supported CD-ROM drive, you should consider this installation method. Installing directly from CD-ROM is the most straightforward approach. When installing from CD-ROM, the packages you select are read from the CD-ROM, and are installed on your hard drive. 2.3.2.1 How To Do It As the name implies, you'll need a Red Hat Linux CD-ROM, a supported CD-ROM drive, and a means of starting the installation program. (...) If your Red Hat Linux partitions will be sharing a hard disk with partitions used by other operating systems, most of the time you'll have no problems. However, there are certain combinations of Linux and other operating systems that require extra care. Information on creating disk partitions compatible with other operating systems is available in several HOWTOs and Mini-HOWTOs, available on the Red Hat Linux CD in the doc/HOWTO and doc/HOWTO/mini directories. In particular, the Mini-HOWTOs whose names start with Linux+ are quite helpful. --------------- ... to those people, I strongly recommend skipping to section 4.3 of the installation manual. Rest assured you'll still have enough to read. I'm positively certain a fairly talented Picarro could boil this down to one tenth of the size. (I suspect too many tax form writers have been laid off recently and offered their services at prices RedHat Bob couldn't refuse.) Then, to build the kernel, I tried to use the "make" command... which was nowhere to be found. I then discovered on DejaNews that you had to install all the C, C++ paraphernalia to get a compiler (and assorted librairies, I suppose). Of course, this wasn't selected by default when installing. Then, hours later, great, the command did work! It sent me a "no rule to make target" message. I went on checking while my tongue was cheeking to ponder which of the 37 different answers I got from dejaNews and Alta Vista was the right one. Even Redhat sent me to pages which had absolutely no relation to the matter and "401s, page not found"! Finally, nothing works. I'm stuck in a deadlock with the puck in front of the net! Can someone tell me how to skate my way out of this... and how much time I can expect to loose absolutely in vain to get Linux installed.

Bonjour, Poster un article en anglais sur un groupe fran�ais : Snobisme ? exercice de style ? fa�on de montrer ses comp�tences linguistiques et techniques ? Erreur de cross-post ? On peut exprimer des concepts informatiques en fran�ais. Je sais de quoi je parle : je suis traducteur de bouquins d'informatique.

Erreur de cross-post ? Rien de tout cela. C'est que j'ai �crit l'article en anglais pour comp.os.linux.misc. On a beau faire, ces maudits am�ricains sont plus nombreux et ne pigent pas un mot de fran�ais. Alors, oui, �videmment, je pourrais traduire, puisque, moi aussi, je fais de la traduction. Seulement, c�t� informatique, je ne suis pas tr�s fort: OS en anglais (plus de doc, mises � jour plus rapides, etc.) et pas de dico sp�cialis� dans ce domaine. Et puis, disons-le, il y a la flemme. J'�cris beaucoup de messages et je n'ai pas que cela � faire. Alors, quand vient le temps de traduire, j'ose croire que les francophones comprennent tout de m�me assez d'anglais pour me lire. Derni�rement, j'ai envoy� le m�me message simultann�ment dans les deux conf�rences en demandant aux gens qui r�pondraient d'effacer la conf�rence qui ne correspondait pas � leur langue... mais �a n'a pas fonctionn� et des r�ponses en anglais se sont retrouv�es ici. J'ai r�pondu par courel � ces messages, mais si j'avais pens� utile de le faire sur les groupes de discussion, j'aurais �videmment enlev� fr.comp.os.linux. C'est pourquoi, cette fois, j'ai envoy� des messages s�par�s en esp�rant qu'un premier message de fil en anglais puisse �tre accept�. J'appr�cie �videmment recevoir votre opinion, messieurs. Quant au reste, je suis ABSOLUMENT contre les �fils� en anglais sur des groupes francophones. J'esp�re que ces quelques explications te rassureront qunat � mes intentions.
