I. For the case of minor changes and corrections where there exists a
current maintainer:
Send your proposed changes to the current maintainer first. You may
distribute (per II. below) only if the current maintainer neglects to
incorporate your changes in a timely manner. If the changes are only
to correct typos, you need not wait for a reply from the maintainer
before you distribute.
II. In all other cases:
If certain words are trademarks, the context should make it clear to whom they belong. For example "MS Windows" (or just "Windows") implies that "Windows" belongs to Microsoft (Micro$oft).
Much of the info in this HOWTO was obtained from Serial-HOWTO, the Internet, sales clerks, etc. and may be unreliable. While I haven't intentionally tried to mislead you, there are likely a number of errors in this document. Please let me know about them. Since this is free documentation, it should be obvious that neither I nor previous authors can be held legally responsible for any errors.
請告訴我你的種種想法. 但首先注意, 如果你手中的版本是一個月以前的, 請看是否有新版本.
此 HOWTO 第一個版本, 0.00, 我甚至沒有看書: PnP 體系結構, 也並不完全理解 PnP. 也沒有比較二個把 Linux 變成 PnP 操作系統的補丁的不同. 我不會充分解釋 BIOS 如何設置 PnP(更不要說補丁如何做了). 此 HOWTO 是不完整的並且可能不正確(假如我錯了, 請告訴我). 在此 HOWTO 中我使用 ?? 來表示我不知道答案. 你想改進(重寫)和維護此 HOWTO 嗎? 我正在找人.
此 HOWTO 的新版本可以在 LDP 的鏡像站點上找到. 首先看 http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/mirrors.html, 當你找到一個近的鏡像站點後, 點擊 "Linux Documentation Project" (LDP), 在其它格式 HOWTO 中找. 如果你僅僅想知道最新版本的日期, 你不必使用鏡像站點, 看 http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html 即可.
