1. News in The LDP world

Incorrect LDP bundles

If you were trying to download the Linux-HOWTOs-20051005.tar.bz2 or one of the other archives and found that the size of the archive was large, it was an error in our archive creation scripts that has been fixed. All the document bundles are available from http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto.

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ by AJ Lewis is now at v0.17. The updated document added a FAQ entry for max size of LVs in LVM2; Did some cleanup of "Recover physical volume metadata" section and updated the contact e-mail address.
Werner Heuser's Linux on the Road (Linux with Laptops, Notebooks, PDAs, Mobile Phones and Other Portable Devices) known as the Mobile-Guide is now at Version 3.17.1. A technical and a language review have been achieved. Numerous bugs have been fixed and many URLs have been updated.
