Well, if you're going to build a FAQ out of questions that are frequently
asked on the yellowdog-general mailing list, then I think the
default-route question definitely qualifies. I've often wondered
what the problems-with-YDL/problems-with-Linux-in-general ratio is
on this list, but I think if you restrict yourself to only addressing
YDL-specific issues then a FAQ becomes less useful to the newbie who nees
it most.
I think a good start would be to just go through the last six months'
list archives and find the questions that have had the same resolution
more than x number of times.
Thanks for volunteering!
Andy
