Most Linux CD-ROM distributions include the HOWTOs, often under the
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/doc</TT
|
|
> directory, and you can also buy printed copies
|
|
from several vendors. Sometimes the HOWTOs available from CD-ROM
|
|
vendors, ftp sites, and printed format are out of date. If the date on
|
|
this HOWTO is more than six months in the past, then a newer copy is
|
|
probably available on the Internet.</P
