&gt; &gt;&gt; Also I hear some recent distributions (Redhat?) no longer include
LDP
&gt; &gt;&gt; archives, is this true??
&gt;
&gt; Hal&gt; Redhat 'basic' is 4 CDs. The documentation is on the 4th CD, but I
&gt; Hal&gt; suspect a lot miss this. When I upgraded, I saw no option for
&gt; Hal&gt; upgrading these packages.
&gt;
&gt; Hello all,
&gt;
&gt; I hope you don't mind the interruption, but since I'm the person
&gt; responsible for the Red Hat Linux documentation CD, I thought I could
&gt; possibly clarify the situation a bit.
&gt;
&gt; The Docs CD does contain the LDP archives, in both
directly-browsable
&gt; form, and in RPMs. This lets people either pop the CD in to get to the
&gt; documentation (if their need is occasional, or free disk space is low),
&gt; or install the documentation on their system for faster access.
&gt;
&gt; At present, the process of installing (or upgrading) Red Hat Linux
&gt; does not include processing the RPMs on the Docs CD. This is due to a
&gt; combination of issues, most notably the timing between production of the
&gt; Docs and O/S CDs, and the way in which the installation program
processes
&gt; additional CDs. We're working on this, but we're not there yet.
&gt;
&gt; In the meantime, the documentation-related RPMs can be installed
&gt; manually (this process is outlined in the CD's main HTML page).
Ed -
Pls correct me if I'm wrong - I believe the last time I checked the RH
docs CD, only the plain text version of the HOWTOs were included,
and not any of the other variants (HTML, PDF, etc.); true?
Maybe we can assist in helping to come up with a nice package
of the LDP docs for all the various distributions to use? Would
this be worthwhile?
(At SGI I use the single-file HTML variants, filter the
HOWTO-INDEX somewhat, then apply indexing. I put
this together for our Tech Pubs Library website.).
