Can I create a Desktop page on the wiki ?

Hi there,
I was using Arch since 1 or 2 weeks now, and I am still in the 'tune the system to get a working desktop' phase.
On the way, I took extensive notes about everything I installed and set-up.
So I was thinking about creating a wiki page (that could be named something like : "Desktop Arch : Zero2Heaven") that list every step to get a working desktop configuration.
The idea is to provide a guide to set up a workstation easily for a non-guru arch new user like me.
Before doing anything, I just wanted to be sure creating this kind of page isn't against some wiki protocol (I don't think so but better safe than sorry ).
See you around

That's why OP's personal preferences should go to his user page and not as a regular article.
I've seen wiki user pages that listed some configs that their authors found useful, nothing wrong with that.
I think there is something missing in the documentation / wiki : How to mount 'quickly' a usable desktop configuration.
The idea was to hook false beginner / 'young' intermediate Linux user, that want to give Arch a try, but don't have the knowledge/experience to sort all the info available in the wiki to install a desktop config.
IMO this could help expand the user base.

PS :  I was going for LXDE + java + audio/video codex + usb auto-mounting + some fonts...
Of course I don't pretend this is THE ultimate desktop experience (everyone has his own preferences).
But at least by following the guide I was thinking about, someone can have a -fast- usable desktop in 10 / 15 min.

    Good morning graywright,
    It sounds as if what you are wanting to do in the Pages application is to insert a Page Break. Follow the steps in this article -
    Pages '09: Inserting a Page Break
    In a word processing document, click where you want the break to occur, and then choose Insert > Page Break. 
    To remove a page break, click at the beginning of the line that follows the break and press the Delete key.
    In a page layout document, to insert a new page in your document, click Pages in the toolbar and choose from the template page options available.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

    Any suggestions or ideasYou are correct. You cannot build two prompts on the same column. Use this link for instructions on how to build a "between prompt" because of this fact:

    You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services.  You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

  • How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

    how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
    It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

    If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

    Try printing the page as PDF.

  • Can we create 2 inspection lots at the time of goods receipt.

    Hi experts,
         Can we create two inspection lots at the time of goods receipt from vendor.I will assign two inspection types in material master
    suppose 01,02.Both are releated to goods receipt.For one inspection lot when we take usage decision stock should not post into usage decision.for other inspection lot stock has to be posted.Is this possible?if possible how to do configuration?

    I think I made this recommendation in a previous post concerning this but this is exactly what reference operation sets are created for.
    Create the reference operation set for the characteristics that are used for all the materials.  You create this once.
    When you create the sepcific plan for the individual materials, you include the reference operation as one of the operations, (probably the first one in your case).  You don't have to add characteristics, modify or change it.  All the characeristics and settings come from the reference operation.  If you need to make a change you edit the reference operation and make the change once.   The change is immediately seen in all newly created inspection lots.
    In a second operation of the plan, you add the characteristics specific to the material.
    You can add different workcenters to the operations if you want.  That way you can set up security on the workcenters and control who can record results against which operations.
    Aside from creating lots manually, you can't create two lots at the same time from the same GR.

    Muse uses Fixed width Layouts so that is not 100% possible. You can extend images and box elements to full width but not actual content.
