supercedes the linuxdoc format and has lot more features than linuxdoc.

You can use the Flash ROMs if they are supported by your NICs (Network Interface Cards).
Many new NICs support flash ROMs. For older NICs you need EEPROMs
and you may need to burn the EEPROMs.
Flash Boot Roms can be used instead of EEPROMS (in case where
flash boot ROMs are supported by the NICs).

This document is written in linuxdoc SGML format. The Docbook SGML format

Unpack the zip files using the Winzip <url url="http://www.winzip.com">.
Both the zip files (vim*rt.zip and vim*56.zip) must be unpacked
in the same directory like say <bf>c:\vim</bf>.
For Windows 95/98, set the environment variable VIM in autoexec.bat by adding this line -
<code>
set VIM=c:\vim\vim56
</code>
For Windows NT, add the environment variable VIM to the
<bf>Control Panel | System | Environment | System Properties</bf> dialog:
<code>
VIM=c:\vim\vim56
</code>
The VIM variable should point to whereever you installed the vim56 directory.
You can also set your PATH to include the gvim.exe's path.
You may need to logoff and relogin to set your environment. At an MS-DOS
prompt type -
<code>
set vim

<sect1> Install bash shell
<p>
In order make MS Windows 2000/NT/95/98 even more user-friendly, install the
bash shell (Bourne Again Shell). Install
<url url="http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe">
(Cygwin-setup program) and select bash and other common utilities.
The CygWin main site is at <url url="http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin">.
With CygWin the Windows 2000 computer will look like Linux/Unix box!!
And combined with gvim editor, the Windows 2000 gives programmers more power.

<sect1> Edit bash_profile
<p>
After installing the Cygwin, insert some useful aliases in ~/.bash_profile file.
Open a cygwin window and at bash prompt -
<code>
bash$ cd $HOME
bash$ gvim .bash_profile
set -o vi
alias ls='ls --color '
alias cp='cp -i '
alias mv='mv -i '
alias rm='rm -i '
alias vi='gvim '
alias vip='gvim ~/.bash_profile & '
alias sop='. ~/.bash_profile '
alias mys='mysql -uroot -p '
PATH=$PATH:"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/mysql/bin"
</code>
With color ls, when you do ls you will see all the directory names and files in
different colors (it looks great!!).
With set -o vi, you can use the command line history editing just as in linux.

<sect1> Setup Window colors
<p>
The default background color of MS DOS prompt window is black and white text.
You must change the color, fontsize and window size to make it more pleasing.
On MS Windows 2000, click on button Start->Run and type "cmd" and hit return.
On MS Windows 95/98/NT click on Start->Programs->MSDOS Prompt which will
bring up MSDOS window.
Right click on the top left corner of the MSDOS prompt window and select properties.
Select color background and enter R=255, G=255, B=190 (red, green, blue) for
lightyellow background
and text foreground color to black (R=0, G=0, B=0).
This sets background to light yellow and text foreground to black and this
combination is most pleasing to human eyes.
If you have problems with colors in cygwin bash window when doing 'man ls', set the
text color to "marune".
