SuSE Online Support - Introduction


The online-support is implemented in HTML. This description language is being used by World Wide Web (WWW) applications on the Internet.

So every WWW browser can be used to access the online help. The SuSE Linux distribution comes with the free browsers lynx (text-oriented) and Netscape Communicator (X11).

The online support is a hypertext system. Words or groups of words are highlighted (Netscape: underlined; lynx: inverted). When you select these links (Netscape: by clicking with the mouse; lynx: by hitting return) you will be shown the referenced document, typically containing detailed information on the chosen topic.

Be patient when viewing manual pages. They have to be formatted and converted to the HTML format. This may take a few seconds.
