- The Linux HOWTO Index
- by Greg Hankins, gregh@sunsite.unc.edu
- v2.9.37, 25 August 1996
-
- This document contains an index to the Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs,
- as well as other information about the HOWTO project.
-
- 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
- HOWTO, which describes how to set up and configure mail under Linux.
- Other examples include the NET2 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 an FAQ
- section at the end.
-
- There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text, PostScript,
- DVI, and HTML.
-
- In addition to the HOWTOs, there are a multitude of mini-HOWTOs.
- These are short, specific HOWTOs, such as the Colour-ls mini-HOWTO.
- They are only available in plain text format.
-
- 2. Where Do I Get Linux HOWTOs?
-
- HOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the following sites:
-
- ╖ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO
-
- ╖ ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO
-
- as well as many mirror sites
- <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/MIRRORS.html>.
-
- You can also browse HOWTOs in HTML format
- <http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/> on the World Wide Web. Many
- mirror sites <http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/hmirrors.html> also mirror
- the HOWTO WWW files.
-
- sunsite.unc.edu is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if
- possible.
-
- HOWTOs are also posted monthly to the Usenet newsgroup
- comp.os.linux.answers.
-

- 4. HOWTO Project Developement
-
- 4.1. Wanted HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs
-
- If you are interested in writing about any of these subject, please
- get in touch with me at gregh@sunsite.unc.edu.
-
- ╖ Notebook HOWTO or Notebook mini-HOWTO. A guide to notebooks -
- information about power management, LCD displays, video controlers,
- pointers to related material (PCMCIA-HOWTO), and most anything
- pertaining to notebooks.
-
- ╖ If you have an idea for another HOWTO or mini-HOWTO, please get in
- touch.
-
- 4.2. HOWTOs Currently Under Construction
-
- ╖ A Parallel Processing HOWTO (multiprocessor and parallel
- processing support for Linux) (6 June 1996).
-
- ╖ An Information Services HOWTO is being written (5 March 1996).
-
- ╖ A Microchannel Bus mini-HOWTO is under construction (17 March
- 1996).
-
- ╖ A Disk HOWTO about disks, partitions, swap space, formatting,
- filesystems, etc is under construction.
-
- 4.3. Writing and Submitting a HOWTO
-
- If you would like to write a Linux HOWTO document, there are a few
- guidelines that you should follow.
-
- ╖ Get in touch with me first, and let me know you want to work on
- something. You can reach me at gregh@sunsite.unc.edu.
-
- ╖ 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.
-
- ╖ If you are writing a HOWTO, you must use the Linuxdoc-SGML package,
- available from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/text/, to format
- the HOWTO. This package allows us to produce LaTeX (for DVI and
- PostScript), plain text, and HTML from a single source document,
- and was designed by Matt Welsh specifically for the HOWTOs. This
- also gives all of the HOWTOs a uniform look.
-
- ╖ If you are writing a mini-HOWTO, you can use any form you wish.
- mini-HOWTOs are meant to be short, free-form HOWTOs on very
- specific subjects. In general, these should be quick to write and
- maintain, so it's not worth bothering with the Linuxdoc-SGML
- package. This does not mean that the mini-HOWTOs are any less
- important! Only plain text versions of mini-HOWTOs are
- distributed.
-
- ╖ Make sure that all of the information is correct. I 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, full
- pathname), and the current version number and release date of the
- software.
-
- ╖ Include an FAQ section at the end, if appropriate. Many HOWTO
- documents need an ``FAQ'' or ``Common Problems'' section to cover
- information which can't be covered in the regular text.
-
- ╖ Use other HOWTOs as a model. The SGML source to the HOWTOs is
- available on Linux FTP sites.
-
- ╖ 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 it to me. If you used
- Linuxdoc-SGML, simply mail me the SGML source; I take care of
- formatting the documents. I'll also take care of archiving the HOWTOs
- on sunsite.unc.edu and posting them to the various newsgroups.
-
- It is important that you go through me when submitting a HOWTO, as I
- maintain the archives and need to keep track of what HOWTOs are being
- written and who is doing what.
-
- Then, all you have to do is send me periodic updates whenever
- appropriate.
