Talk:LPI Linux Certification/Junior Level Linux Professional

Suggestions welcome!

LPIC updated their exam objectives, I am updating TOC to match that. Many pages are renamed or merged to match new structure. Once done I hope to find some time to start updating chapters with up to date information. Jacek99 (discuss • contribs) 22:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I created new TOC and moved most of the pages. Some of them are remaining but I do not think they will be used in this part of the book. I am going to create remove old TOC soon leaving small section with redundant pages, I hope content can be reused somewhere else. Jacek99 (discuss • contribs) 21:34, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I have switched to an alternative. Wikibooks is nice, but the lag is a problem for me. It is better after hardware upgrades and the download page seems to work now. However I was not successful with installing the software locally. The install script would not complete. Instead I have started work on a similar project at http://orca.st.usm.edu/~seyfarth/wiki

If anyone wants to copy any of the orcawiki material to this wikibooks site, that is fine with me. I will probably try to install wikibooks again when another release is available. I could be happy with a wikibook setup with a local copy on orca so I can count on adequate performance.

Page Merger
I did a history merge, which is better than a copy and paste history. Thanks for remembering to move the history though. In the future, when you need to move modules, use the merge tab at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can ask an admin to do it (ie. if a page already exists at the new location). Thanks! – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 12:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Mike although i have no merge option that i can see?Barry 12:39, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Freudian slip. I wish there was a merge tab! I meant move tab. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 13:48, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Barry did move the modules. I think Barry was trying to merge two talk pages as part of a plan to reorganize this book. I guess I should of mentioned requesting a page merge when copy+pasting the contents of one page into another one. However this doesn't really work for partial attempts to merge two pages, while keeping the rest separate. --dark lama  14:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * This does now pose a question, would you rather i notified the administrators to perform the merge? As the existing pages in the book such as this one LPI_Linux_Certification/LPIC1_Exam_101/Hardware_&_Architecture will need splitting and placing into the new layout. I am only to aware of how busy the admins are. Barry 17:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe Mike.lifeguard thought you were trying to move a page, and had copy+pasted because you didn't know how to move pages, but what you were trying to do instead was combine two pages. When you plan to combine two pages, you need to copy+paste, because the other page already exists, and add to the page you copy and pasted from, which will allow any active administrators know you need two pages to be merged. A merger is required to preserve the contribution history of other contributors. When you split a page there shouldn't be anything else you need to do. I didn't think that the LPI 101 and 102 test objectives were going to be combined, so I didn't think to tell you what needed to be done when you want you combine two pages. Also since I'm mentioning it, in a more active book with active contributors you would probably want to use  and  and discuss merging the pages first. --dark  lama  18:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
