I've had to make some substantial fixes to the document. The original part 1 on
IBM had numerous errors. There's a whole subsection that didn't exist (6b)
despite numerous references to it by drobbins. So I added that, after figuring
out why there where some unlabeled instructions--these seem to be 6b. Please
review this part carefully. At first I thought the original section 6 (on IBM)
was mistakenly duplicated, but then it seemed that this was another set of
instructions entirely, so I took that into account in the .xml file.

The original article was quite a mess. It was full of dead-end (and outdated!)
hyperlinks and undocumented sections and procedures. So I added a couple points
of clarification, so that users know what the heck is going on.

Do you plan on doing the following two as well?

Yes, as soon as I have regular internet access again--call it a week from now, 
at most. (I think.)

part2-rc2

contains links to the soon-to-be-appearing companion documents mentioned in the
"Resources" section: "Partition planning" and "Maximum swappage".
Comment 7 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-15 18:35:11 UTC
As neysx requested, the other two documents mentioned in this series, "Maximum   
swappage" (Bug 102652) and "Partition planning tips" (Bug 102666), have been 
added, so this series is now complete. 
Comment 8 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-15 18:38:41 UTC

part1-rc3
