<DIV><BR></DIV>Some more to add:<BR><BR>-- Perhaps a troubleshooting guide,
similar to the one in the Official Ubuntu Book would be good. Issues with
X, dpkg, and the like could be added here<BR><BR>-- There is no official guide
for editing GRUB, as well. There are many good tutorials on the web, and
cleaning up GRUB is something that many new users will want to do.

all,<BR><BR>I've looked through the current documentation, and have come up
with several ideas to expanding it:<BR><BR>-- Reporting Problems. A
section like this would assist in bug triaging and fixing, as links to
debugging specific packages could be provided. Pages like Reporting Bugs
[1] could be imported so people are able to find them with ease.<BR><BR>--
Installing New Themes. Many users are stumped when it comes to
installing community provided themes from sites such as <A
href="http://gnome-look.org" target=_blank>gnome-look.org</A>. A
detailed description on how this works could help many.<BR><BR>-- Installation
Guide [2]. The installation guide exists, but should be moved from the
bottom of the page, where it is incorrectly labeled, to the Desktop
Documentation category. Currently, you can find this at the bottom of <A
href="http://help.ubuntu.com" target=_blank>help.ubuntu.com</A>, where it
labels it as 'Installing Ubuntu via the alternate CD'.<BR><BR>--
Multimedia. A section providing information on pre-installed graphical
applications such as GIMP, especially links to the official documentation
would be good. This could be expanded from musicvideophotos, and also
include brief information on applications such as Sound Recorder, video
editors, audio editors, and desktop recorders.<BR><BR>So what are your
thoughts on these? Anything that I have missed, or should be
added?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Nick<BR><BR>[1] <A
