2003 29 The Linux Documentation Project 2003-11-12 Chr. Clemens Lee is doing the honors this week with version 1.0 of the Debian Binary Package Building mini-HOWTO. The document explains how to build a minimal Debian (.deb) package for personal use on your own systems. sent in a PDF version of the DNS HOWTO. This document dates back to 2001 but does discuss Bind 9 configuration. However, be sure to download the latest release when working with Bind (fixes among other issues security issues with parameters discussed in Chapter 6 of the HOWTO). Tabatha Marshall, our Review Coordinator, took over the Reviewer HOWTO and converted it to XML, checked the links and made it reflect the current review process. By Rick Moen: the WordPerfect on Linux FAQ, v1.4.14. Rahul Sundaram, one of the more active participants of our mailinglists, published v1.1 of his Linux Documentation (LDP) FAQ. A good reread of the initial release corrected spelling mistakes and puts the finishing touch on the content. Giles Orr will some day be at the top of one of our edition. Meanwhile, here's v0.93 of his Bash Prompt HOWTO (not to be mistaken for the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide or the Bash Programming - Introduction HOWTO). This is not a mistake. We can hardly keep up with Miroslav Skoric. Here are the new versions of his FBB Packet-radio BBS mini-HOWTO v1.27; LILO mini-HOWTO v3.16 and Linux+WindowsNT mini-HOWTO v2.16. David Ranch's Linux IP Masquerade HOWTO reached version 2.0, worth to mention. Gerard Beekmans published v5.0 of the Linux From Scratch HOWTO. Also from David Ranch, the TrinityOS Guide. This document is a step-by-step example-driven explanation of how to build a very functional Linux box with a strong emphasis on security. In the new version David fixes version numbering issues on many of the daemons he mentions, and corrects a couple of statements having to do with the different Linux Distributions. . . . .
