I would like to read some other stuff this weekend, but there were some parts of the documentation that were confusing for me or in which I made mistakes because instead of being example texinfo commands they were code. I don't know if that is on purpose. The example for desktop.scm has the line: (device "my-root") instead of (device (file-system-label "my-root")) I also don't know if that is a mistake or if it is on purpose because of being newbie :) I wanted to ask you before doing anything because I'd rather read other stuff, but if it is OK, then they are two lines, I can change them and patch them. Regards :) Laura
