Re: Feedback: New HOWTO index broken :-(



[original poster removed for reasons that will be clear later]

Hugo,

Did you even *test* this?  I just did, and Ruven is correct.  Try these simple
steps:

1)  Go download http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz
and untar it in its own directory (assume the directory is /home/markk/HOWTO)

2)  Go into /home/markk/HOWTO and untgz the HOWTO-INDEX and the 3DFX-HOWTO.
(note that 3Dfx-HOWTO creates its own subdirectory).

3)  Fire up netscape.

4)  Load /home/markk/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX-3.html.  Click on 3Dfx-HOWTO.

5)  Look at pretty error.

Here we are trying to help people out, and we get all snooty at them
when they report an error.  I ask again:  DID YOU VERIFY THIS?
The answer can only be no, since I was able to see the EXACT SAME ERROR
in under 5 minutes.
