I second that :-). An announcement is a greak idea and badly
needed but it's not a good idea to make newbies hit their heads
against brick wall just because the howtos were not up to date and
tested.
One thing about the howto. The Linux FAQ says that you don't
need /etc/ppc386.cfg. That's true based on how my install went a
week or so ago but I keep seeing developers using this file and
mentioning it. So which one is it? :-)
If /etc/ppc386.cfg is really unnecessary, developers should stop
using it. Otherwise we may have makefiles that work fine with the
core developers but not on fresh installs.

I could check both the Linux- and Win32-howtos when they are
updated. Just beep me and I'll have a look with a fresh install.
