From d7fd936e49bb19a7730871fc37c551ffc7b9bda0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Remko Lodder Date: Sun, 28 May 2006 18:33:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update the DVD-RAM section a bit. This avoids the usage of "you", "we" and things like that, which is consistent with the rest of the documention. Also remove a paragraph that mentioned that the upcoming commands should be executed as root, since the prompt should imply that already (like the rest of the handbook has as well). --- .../books/handbook/disks/chapter.sgml | 21 ++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks/chapter.sgml b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks/chapter.sgml index 7d41eaab45..abd472e20f 100644 --- a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks/chapter.sgml +++ b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks/chapter.sgml @@ -1786,8 +1786,8 @@ cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present - tray c Configuration DVD-RAM writers come with either SCSI or ATAPI - interface.
