Mandriva Club knowledge base is a wiki-based documentation site written collaboratively by Club members. The site is a wiki, meaning that every member, including you, can add or modify each page.

If you need information on how to use a wiki, please visit these pages : XWiki Syntax and Adding Pages. If you want to experiment without breaking anything, go to the Sand Box.

Maybe older version of Knowledge base should be published periodicaly under copyleft license so that content would not be lost if something should happen to Mandriva or something. Also some people might feel more inclined to contribute to a project that could in the end benifit even more people.

Knowledge base should have some kind of a license in any case.

I agree. I think everyone can come to see the knowledge base, but only members can contribute.

I think the entire Mandriva idea of a knowledgebase is complete BS. No other company would even think of putting up a 'knowledgebase' without a decent and obvious search function.

I have to think Mandriva is actually hiding their tech support knowledgebase.

It's been so screwed up for so long they don't seem to know any better.

What crap...

I don't understand… there is one here ?

Titpom | 03.09.2005 at 10:14 PM

Just look at the upper right hand corner of this webite…

There should be some point of entry for contributers. I'm sure it will happen, the club is more and more open.

And now you can use the Firefox search bar with this Tip

I was checking the Knowledge Base and the kernel topics link points to the same as t he booting link. I was really interested in the kernel topics… But the link is not available

Flink | 21.07.2006 at 08:11 PM

I have moved this into Databases:

Flink | 21.07.2006 at 08:23 PM

This has been moved into kernel I have corrected the link now.

Flink | 25.07.2006 at 12:40 PM

I have put System Recovery I under Trouble Shooting, because it has been missing here.
