The Linux Documentation Project (LDP) is working on developing good,
reliable documentation for the Linux operating system. The overall
goal of the LDP is to collaborate in taking care of all of the issues
of Linux documentation, ranging from online documentation (man pages,
HTML, and so on) to printed manuals covering topics such as
installing, using, and running Linux. Here is the Linux Documentation
Project <a href="LDP-Manifesto.html"> Manifesto</a> and
<a href="LDP-COPYRIGHT.html">Copyright License</a> for LDP works.

<p>
For translations of LDP works and documentation in languages other
than English, see the &quot;<a href="links/nenglish.html">Non-English Linux Info</a>&quot;
links page.

The Linux HOWTOs are detailed "how to" documents on
specific subjects. The <a href="HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html">HOWTO
index</a> lists all HOWTOs along with short
descriptions. The HOWTOs are written in SGML or XML, and translated to
different output formats using SGML-Tools (Linuxdoc DTD) or the
<a href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net">DocBook/DSSSL tools</a>.

<p>
<ul>
<li><p>
In the list below, <b>single page</b> means that each HOWTO is available
for viewing, in its entirety, on <i>one</i> HTML page.
The default for viewing online is for the HOWTO to be split into
<b>multiple page</b>(s; usually one HTML page per section).
</p></li>
<li><p>
The stated tar package sizes are <i>approximations</i>.
</p></li>
<li><p>
PostScript and PDF copies were created using the
<b><a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html">PA4</a></b>
paper format (210 x 279 mm, 8-1/4 x 11 in - the width of ISO A4 and
the height of U.S. Letter).
</p></li>
<li><p>
We have heard of instances whereby the Adobe
plug-in for Netscape or IE may have trouble reading
the PDF variants. If so, save the file(s) to your hard disk
and open them from the desktop - see if that resolves the problem.
</p></li>
<li><p>
In some cases, when downloading compressed files
with/through a web-browser, the
browser will actually perform the decompression (<i>gunzip</i>)
automatically, <b>BUT</b> the saved filename will still have
the <tt>.gz</tt> file extension. If you run into problems when
trying to <i>gunzip</i> the file, this is probably the case.
Move the file to &quot;filename minus the .gz extension&quot;
and the problem should be resolved.
</p></li>
