Bug 34048 – Use "spelled-out" options in instructions

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description roger55 (RETIRED) 2003-11-21 11:55:08 UTC]

The handbook should use the long options instead of the shortened 
'one-letter-options' 
 
example: 
 
emerge --usepkg kde 
 
instead of 
 
emerge -k kde 
 
This will teach new users better what these options are for.

These patches should fix this in all existing files. There is also a small introduction about the "--usepkg" flag (and the "-k" abbreviation) in the hb-install-kernel.xml patch as the user is there confronted with it for the first time.

If a docdev can review?

hb-install-kernel.xml: s/prebuild/prebuilt/

Other patches look good.
