Chapter 1. What Are Linux HOWTOs?
Linux HOWTOs are documents which describe in detail a certain aspect
of configuring or using Linux. For example, there is the Installation
HOWTO, which gives instructions on installing Linux, and the Mail
Administrator HOWTO, which describes how to set up and configure mail
under Linux. Other examples include the Net HOWTO and the Printing
HOWTO.
HOWTOs are comprehensive docs - much like an FAQ but generally not in
question-and-answer format. However, many HOWTOs contain a FAQ
section at the end.
There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text, PostScript,
PDF, and HTML.
________________________________________________________________
Chapter 2. Where Can I Get Linux HOWTOs?
HOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from
[ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/]
ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/ as well as from many
[http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/MIRRORS.html] mirror sites around
the world. Please use a mirror site if possible.
You can also browse HOWTOs in [howtos.html] HTML format or grab
[http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html/Linux
-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz] Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz for viewing on your own
workstation. The files will be extracted into HOWTO/.
Other formats can be accessed from the HOWTO
[http://tldp.org/docs.html#howto] documents page of the LDP.
Many [http://tldp.org/mirrors.html] mirror sites mirror the HTML
files. tldp.org is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if
possible.

of the Software RAID layer, namely the 0.90 RAID layer made by
Ingo Molnar and others. This is the RAID layer that will be
standard in Linux-2.4, and it is the version that is also used by
Linux-2.2 kernels shipped from some vendors. The 0.90 RAID
support is available as patches to Linux-2.0 and Linux-2.2, and
is by many considered far more stable that the older RAID support
already in those kernels.

Chapter 6. Single list of mini-HOWTOs
The mini-HOWTOs have been folded into the [howtos.html] full list of
HOWTOs.
________________________________________________________________
Chapter 7. Unmaintained HOWTOs
There are a number of unmaintained documents, which can be found at:
[http://www.tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html]
http://tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html.
These are kept around since old documentation is sometimes better
than none. However, you should be aware that you are reading old
documentation.
If the date tag is too old, please consider the HOWTO as
unmaintained.
However, there are exceptions, such as those that document older
programs and procedures that still might be in use, or those that
cover more obscure topics.
________________________________________________________________
Chapter 8. Writing and Submitting a HOWTO
If you are interested in writing or maintaining a HOWTO, please
contact us FIRST at [mailto:feedback@en.tldp.org]
feedback@en.tldp.org. If you want to maintain a unmaintained HOWTO,
please try to contact the former author.
Consult the [../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/index.html] LDP Author Guide
for detailed information on writing and submitting a HOWTO.
Here are a few general guidelines that you should follow when writing
a HOWTO:
* Try to use meaningful structure and organization, and write
clearly. Remember that many of the people reading HOWTOs do not
speak English as their first language.
* Make sure that all of the information is correct. We can't stress
this enough. When in doubt, speculate, but make it clear that
you're only guessing.
* Make sure that you are covering the most recent version of the
available software. Also, be sure to include full instructions on
where software can be downloaded from (FTP site name,
fullpathname), and the current version number and release date of
the software.
* Include an FAQ section at the end, if appropriate. Many HOWTO
documents need a ``FAQ'' or ``Common Problems'' section to cover
information which cannot be covered in the regular text.
* HOWTOs should be submitted to us in either DocBook or linuxdoc
SGML; or DocBook XML. Refer to the
[../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/index.html] LDP Author Guide for
further information.
* Use other HOWTOs a model. The SGML/XML source to the HOWTOs is
available on Linux FTP sites. In addition, examine the
[../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/index.html] LDP Author Guide, the
[../../manifesto.html] LDP manifesto (and license guide), and the
[../../authors/index.html] Authors Resources area of the LDP
site.
* Make sure that your name, email address, date, and a version
number is near the beginning of the document. You could also
include WWW addresses and a postal mail address if you want. The
standard header is: Title / Author's name and email address /
Version number and date. For example:
The LDP Sample HOWTO by various_authors v6.1, 2001-05-01
Refer to the [../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/index.html] LDP Author
Guide for further information.
* Lastly, be prepared to receive questions and comments about your
writing. There are several hundreds of accesses to the HOWTO
collection every day from around the world.
After you have written the HOWTO, mail the SGML source to us at
[mailto:submit@en.tldp.org] submit@en.tldp.org.
It is important that you go through us when submitting a HOWTO, as we
maintain the archives and need to keep track of what HOWTOs are being
written and who is doing what.
Please send the LDP periodic updates whenever appropriate.
