- The Linux HOWTO Index
- by Greg Hankins, gregh@sunsite.unc.edu
- v2.10.40, 12 October 1997
-
- 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 NET-3 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 on
- short, specific subjects. 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.
-
- You can also browse HOWTOs in HTML format
- <http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/>. Many mirror sites
- <http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/hmirrors.html> mirror the HTML files.
-
- sunsite.unc.edu is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if
- possible.
-
- HOWTOs are also posted towards the beginning of the month to the
- Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.answers. There is a tool called
- NewstoHOWTO <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/news/misc/> that
- will assemble the postings.
-
- 2.1. HOWTO Translations

- 3.3. Special HOWTOs
-
- The High Availability HOWTO, by Harald Milz <hm@seneca.muc.de> is
- available at http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-ha/High-
- Availability-HOWTO.html. It is not included with the HOWTO collection
- because it relies on figures and cannot be distributed in all
- supported formats.
-
- The Graphics HOWTO, by Michael J. Hammel <mjhammel@csn.net> is
- available at http://www.csn.net/~mjhammel/linux/lgh.html. It is not
- included with the HOWTO collection because it needs to use a lot of
- images, which don't translate to other output formats.
-
- 3.4. Unmaintained HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs
-
- There are a number of unmaintained documents at
- ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/unmaintained. These are
- kept around since old documentation is sometimes better than none.
- However, you should be aware that you are reading old documentation.
-
- 4. Writing and Submitting a HOWTO
-
- If you are interested in writing a HOWTO or mini-HOWTO, please get in
- touch with me FIRST!!! at gregh@sunsite.unc.edu.
-
- Here are a few guidelines that you should follow when writing a HOWTO
- or mini-HOWTO:
-
- ╖ 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 SGML-Tools package,
- available from http://www.pobox.com/~cg/sgmltools, 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 specifically for the HOWTOs. This also gives all
- of the HOWTOs a uniform look.
-
- ╖ If you are writing a mini-HOWTO, you can either use SGML (as
- described above) or HTML. Plain text submissions are no longer
- accepted! In the near future, I will start distributing mini-
- HOWTOs in plain text and HTML.
-
- ╖ 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 or mini-HOWTOs as a model! The SGML source to the
- HOWTOs is available on Linux FTP sites.
-
- ╖ Make sure that your name, email address, date, and a version number
- is near the beginning of the document. You could also include WWW
- addresses and a snail mail address if you want. The standard
- header is:
-
- Title
- Author's name and email address
- Version number and date
-
- for example:
-
- The Linux HOWTO Index
- by Greg Hankins
- v2.10.29, 31 July 1997
-
- ╖ 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 SGML-
- Tools, 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.
-
- 5. Copyright

- Unless otherwise stated, Linux HOWTO documents are copyrighted by
- their respective authors. Linux HOWTO documents may be reproduced and
