Hello,
Here's my mega-patch according to community opinion. I need to find a
brave soul to work on it :)
Some details:
- in text sysinstall is without upper case and between application tags
- fdisk is fdisk not FDisk etc...
- use of disklabel instead of Disklabel in the text.
- use of fips instead of FIPS.
- Partition Magic is not changed, the commercial name is with uppercases
- DEFRAG should be defrag.
- Norton Disk Tools, Stacker, and DoubleSpace are apps, and so need
application tags.
Marc
