Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-14 07:40:17 UTC
Currently the handbook reads:

Other CDs

You might find a so-called Package CD on one of our mirrors. This CD is no
Installation CD but an additional resource that can be exploited during a
networkless installation.

Personally, I don't like the use of "so-called" in that section, however, the
grammatical error is that the second sentence should read:

"This CD is not an Installation CD" instead of "This CD is no Installation CD"

So I've been telling Swift for about 2 years :)

Damn too many hb*medium*xml files to update.
Sigh.
Someone has to do it, I suppose.

What do you so-called "dislike" about me using "so-called" often. That so-called
phrase still is a so-called valid one.

I don't like it because it implies that there is another name for the package
CD, personally, I would state "You might find a Package CD ...." However, the
main point of the bug was the grammatical error and not the phrasing.

Fixed the 14 *medium*xml files
