Focused users and edits

We are aware that wiki is not so complete but, last month wiki installation page are a crap ton of changes.. The wiki page tries to include so many information.. but it lacks of good structure, neither hav a good requirements page

So then I separated the requirements detailed to a new wiki page, https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Requirements, with all details and reduce significatively the installation page details to only RAM and SPACE storage..

Later added a section in https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_newbie_install_manual#Ways_to_install_Alpine_listed_by_architectures so then users that need different methods of install does not need to crap with over information the only wiki installation page.. (over information) I mean over sentences of "for this ARM flafour go to here and here and for this toy go to here"

Last then i reduced rest of info to improved independent pages of each one!  Contributions must be focused in independent cases and listed in how to and tutorial wiki page .. so then i can check and later listed at new users tutorial pages.

All of this new pages will be improved in next days. Currently information was slpitted and improved to reduce the oversized installation page!

About changes and recent diff from SB1 June and July changes...

Checksum command is a extra optional info: first note are the checksum command to verify.. only takes in consideration linux (ovbiusly will be so "rare" if not) and win! there' is no more OS in the world? there's no MAC or FreeBSD? is clear Alpine need minimal linux knowledge so are nonsense try to catch win users without minimal linux knowledge.. specific pages for that must be done! not in main install pages!

Boot of external devices depends of each computer device so each wiki page cases of architecture installation must added its own information

also the use Sb1 erased/changed so many information and does not property posted in any other page .. (i mean setup alpine or similar) all the info was grouped and pasted in main installation page.. oversized the target of.. the good examples of wiki pages must be like:  https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux:FAQ#What_is_the_difference_between_.27sys.27.2C_.27data.27.2C_and_.27diskless.27_when_running_.27setup-alpine.27_or_.27setup-disk.27.3F makes references to install page as further deep information available.. but this page as i said was changed significatively..

Suggestions

About Installing Alpine on Compact Flash and Installing Alpine on USB, I think those two should be merged, steps are thesame. --K0gen 20:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
