3 The preliminaries

Contents of this section

Note that I (the howto-maintainer) no longer use ftape myself, so I cannot give much up-to-date advice on e.g. compiling ftape. If you have a problem, try posting on comp.os.linux.help, or to the TAPE channel (see Following the ftape development below). You should try to post a summary of your problems and its solution(s), after you've got it working, even if you only got it partially working, please send me a copy so I can add it to the HOWTO (please send a copy directly to <khp@pip.dknet.dk>).

I read my mail daily, but I won't guarantee that I will respond. Also, I seldomly read the newsgroups (comp.os.linux.help et al), as my Internet access is through a modem line and I have to read news On-line 8-(.

If you recieve this as part of a printed distribution, please check out the Linux Documentation home page or ftp to sunsite.unc.edu: /pub/Linux/doc/HOWTO to see if there exists a more recent version. This could potentially save you a lot troubles.
