| Adjusting_Monitor_Gamma | Yes | --Carlops 15:03, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | Saist, for readability I removed your preliminary remarks. Hope it's OK... |
| Alternative_boot_methods | OK | Acesabe 11:00, 21 September 2007 (EDT) | |
| ATI_supported_cards | OK | Saist 17:06, 29 September 2007 (EDT) | |
| Aufs | OK | Jerry bond 01:55, 18 September 2007 (EDT) | Wrote it for M7, checked by kmathern |
| Boot_options | Pending | Jerry bond 05:21, 21 September 2007 (EDT) | Need to get new options from LiveCD |
| Category:Customization | OK for now | Jerry bond 08:12, 27 October 2007 (EDT) | Comment: for these 3 categories we need to check if the pages listed belong to these categories, also we need to write a nice description for each category. AdrianTM 19:05, 18 September 2007 (EDT) |
| Category:Installation | OK | Acesabe 09:56, 24 September 2007 (EDT) | Links all active - edited a couple of linked pages to 7.x spec. |
| Category:KDE | OK | Acesabe 09:56, 24 September 2007 (EDT) | Konqueror page is hungry for more info! Several pages are old |
| Cedega | OK | ronnielsen1 11:04, 18 September 2007 (CDT) | Minor spelling errors |
| Change_Wallpaper | OK | AdrianTM 22:03, 19 September 2007 (EDT) | |
| Compiling | Pending | lykwydchykyn 22:09, 22 September 2007 (EDT) | It's good, but currently "checkinstall" is not in the repos. We have asked warren to make it available, but we can't be sure it will be. I don't know of a replacement for it. |
| Converting_unsupported_file_types | Yes | lykwydchykyn 22:06, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | Good |
| Creating_a_link_on_the_desktop | Yes | lykwydchykyn 21:51, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | Fleshed out and checked against beta 7. |
| Customizing_GRUB | OK | Acesabe 20 Sept 2007 | Could be edited to use current configs - but it is only an example |
| Dansguardian_setup | No | lykwydchykyn 21:31, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | See discussion page; problems with this method in Mep 7. Left in Manual since Wiki warns and is more flexible |
| Database_Server | Yes | lykwydchykyn 15:53, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | Currently only talks about installing and rudimentary configuration of MySQL 5. Should probably be expanded to a fuller discussion of database servers. On my todo list, unless someone beats me to it. |
| DNS_Server | Yes | lykwydchykyn 22:30, 18 September 2007 (EDT) | Good |
| Dpkg-reconfigure_xserver-xorg | OK | Acesabe 18 Sept 2007 | Reading through - it already mentions the missing parts but added compositing and Appletouch references |
| Edit_Kicker | OK | Jerry bond 08:04, 19 September 2007 (EDT) | Cleaned up, added example |
| Editing_the_GRUB_menu | OK | --Carlops 15:33, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | |
| Enable_Power_Management | Reviewed | --Carlops 15:36, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | As from 6.5, xorg.conf has already been configured for DPMS |
| Fatal_Error:_No_Screens_Found | NO | Acesabe 20 Sept 2007 | This is legacy info - it should not be referenced at all in the Mepis 7 documentation! Out in new version for Final Jerry bond 07:57, 8 November 2007 (EST) |
| Firestarter | Yes | Jerry bond 15:38, 21 September 2007 (EDT) | |
| FTP | OK, please do a quick review for grammar | AdrianTM 11:44, 20 September 2007 (EDT) | Reviewed: perfect English! |
| FTP_Server | OK, please review for grammar | AdrianTM 11:44, 20 September 2007 (EDT) | Reviewed: perfect English! |
| G4l | Yes | lykwydchykyn 09:38, 19 September 2007 (EDT) | Nothing MEPIS-specific in this article, however, it could use a look-over by someone other than the author (me) to make sure it's sensible. |
| General_Knowledge_Database#Terminology | No | AdrianTM 12:35, 20 September 2007 (EDT) | I think this either needs to be removed from manual or linked directly to the article that explains the terminology, or to the Category:Terminology. -- AdrianTM 23:35, 20 September 2007 (EDT) Linked directly Jerry bond 07:57, 8 November 2007 (EST) |
| Getting_and_Installing_MEPIS | Pending | Acesabe 20 Sept 2007 | System requirements page need updating, |
| GRUB | Pending | Acesabe 18 Sept 2007 | Needs menu.lst entries for MEPIS 7 inserted |
| GRUB_from_command_line | OK | Acesabe 18 Sept 2007 | No change/edits/additions needed |
| Guarddog | OK | Acesabe20 Sept 2007 | More on specific zone config would be good - csledbetter may add some here - or links to specific how-to's |
| Hardware#Printers | OK | Acesabe 10:11, 24 September 2007 (EDT) | Links all ok -couple of url updates made |
| Increase_Resolution | NO | Acesabe 20 Sept 2007 | This info is not good advice - and unlikely to work well! Better advice would be to use the live CD + F3 at Grub to select res, then re-install Xconf, or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, also entering monitor freqs in mxconfig - why isn't there a choice of resolutions in mxconfig??? Will ask Warren...

| Installing_without_a_CD | Pending | Acesabe20 Sept 2007 | No mention of installation using Mepis USB drive, or the possibility of moving to hard drive to a similar pc (with CDROM/USB boot), installing to HD then returning drive to original pc - and how this may not always work |

| Main_Page | OK | AdrianTM 14:43, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | Main page can remain like this if MEPIS general theme doesn't change |

| Network_interface_varies | Uncertain | lykwydchykyn 21:57, 21 September 2007 (EDT) | I have a machine which had this problem on 6.5. It has not had this issue on 7 beta. We can't be sure this will be an issue, but if it is I can only assume the fix will still work as Mep 7 still uses udev. |
| NVIDIA_supported_cards | Pending | Acesabe 18 Sept 2007 | Changes to read MEPIS 7 and alterations to add Compiz(-Fusion) - Updated information to the 100.xx series. Saist 17:11, 29 September 2007 (EDT) |

| Sound_Driver_Database | Probably No | AdrianTM 14:04, 29 September 2007 (EDT) | While this list is useful I think is too tied to the version of the MEPIS for which it was created -- might not have much relevance for MEPIS 7, some cards that work in 6.5 might not work in 7 and the other way round. Added warning to Wiki page Jerry bond 07:57, 8 November 2007 (EST) |
| Sound_not_working | OK | Jerry bond 07:09, 27 October 2007 (EDT) | Parent and first-level child pages OK, did not look at pages for specific cards |

| Supported_webcams | OK, sort of | Jerry bond 14:59, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | Updated form, but webcams may need retesting |
| Testing_your_hardware_for_problems | OK | Acesabe 06:45, 25 September 2007 (EDT) | This page could no doubt include more - but the basics are there. Some good links would be a plus |
| Trying_MEPIS | Yes | lykwydchykyn 16:32, 19 September 2007 (EDT) | Nothing version-specific here. |
| Unstable_Connection | OK | Acesabe 06:45, 25 September 2007 (EDT) | Should page title not include 'wireless' (I added it to page content) |

| Web_Server | Maybe | lykwydchykyn 22:14, 18 September 2007 (EDT) | Other than a mention of MEPIS 3.3, the text is correct; but we already have "LAMP", should we just roll the two together?
|
| Webmin | Yes | lykwydchykyn 23:02, 18 September 2007 (EDT) | Overhauled for mep 7, should be Good. |
| WEP | OK | Jerry bond 14:37, 26 October 2007 (EDT) | |
