The Table of Content is generated. Translate the titles and right click the table of content and select "refresh", or "regenerate" or "re...whateverit'scalled" :)

Yeah that's right - I forgot, I haven't used that function in a year or two!
Thanx for reminding me!

Just a suggestion for the section: check the MD5.

You give only the command

Code: Select all

md5sum LinuxMint-4.0.iso
but with that we must check with our little eyes :lol: the "series of weird characters", what is not really comfortable :roll:

There is a easier way!

On the page of downloads of the mirror you have a 'md5sum.txt' file with all MD5 signatures for all Mint editions. Download it in the same place where you downloaded your .iso file(s) and in the terminal just type:

Code: Select all

md5sum -c md5sum.txt
and after a few moments you will see one (or several if you downloaded several files) answers such as for example this one:

Code: Select all

LinuxMint-4.0-Fluxbox-BETA-028.iso: OK
LinuxMint-4.0-KDE-BETA-044.iso: OK
LinuxMint-4.0.iso: OK
LinuxMint-4.0-XFCE-BETA-008.iso: OK
(of course if you downloaded just one file then you will see just one answer)

I guess that this command is easier and more pleasant, no? :D

Suggestion: before launching the checking you can edit the file and remove the signature for the .iso files that you have not downloaded. That will avoid seeing error messages for the other files which you have not downloaded :wink:

Hi, Clem

Sorry to bother you again but which software I should use for it? OpenOffice seems to be the right one but I am still puzzled on how to edit Table of Content and perform refresh or regenerate. The idea is to translate it into Brazilian-Portuguese.

Thanks,
Csat
Cheers

Hi Csat,

OpenOffice.org Writer. It should be in the context menu when you right-click the table of contents.

Just thought I would mention that the user guide has been of help to a user on hardware central that has an interest in Linux.

The user had tried Ubuntu but was unable to run it from the Live CD. I suggested LinuxMint and provided a link so he could decide for himself. I asked the user for feedback because he has never used Linux and I would like to know what he thinks.

Anyways, it is nice to see the documentation is being used and that it is helping people!

Great work!
