Help Manual Suggestions wanted - Valtam - 11-25-2016
I'm going to spend some time between now and 3.4 to add to the Help Manual. If there is anything I have overlooked, please let me know in this thread.
- An example of a good suggestion - the recent "Lite Software - Change Repository Location" suggestion from another thread.
- An example of a bad suggestion - "Please include a tutorial for installing KDE"
Any suggestion must be relevant to what we already offer.
Thank you

Not sure if already included or wanted. Since it is non GUI application tool. I use it alot myself and help others online trouble shoot problems with it.

I'm looking for 'point and click' tutorials - think Grandma who has never used a pc before, and her first experience is Linux Lite. That basic.

I've added some new content to the Manual (online Manual shows these). Would someone mind writing up a short, plain English explanation of what Wine is and what you use it for? Thank you.

In short (plain English explanation):
Quote:Wine application is a compatibility layer capable of running many Windows programs in Linux.
A bit more descriptive:
Quote:Wine application is a compatibility layer capable of running many Windows programs in Linux. Software programs are designed for different operating systems, and most won't work on systems that they weren't designed for.
Windows programs won't natively run in Linux because they contain instructions that the system can't understand until they're translated by the Windows environment. In that same way, Linux programs won't run under the Windows operating system because Windows is unable to interpret all of their instructions.
Through Wine's compatibility layer, when a Windows program tries to perform a function that Linux doesn't normally understand, Wine will translate that program's instruction into one supported by Linux.
I think that's plain enough, and boldly describes what it is and what it does.

Small typo in:
Systemback - Creating a Live ISO of your installation
(/usr/share/doc/litemanual/tutorials.html#systembackiso)
currently it reads:
Quote:Leave the options are they are shown in the image below.
expected:
