Linux HOWTOs are documents which describe in detaila certain aspect of configuring or using Linux. For example, there is the Installation HOWTO, which gives instructions on installing Linux, and the Mail Administrator HOWTO, which describes how to set up and configure mail under Linux. Other examples include the Net 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 a FAQ section at the end. There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text, PostScript, PDF, and HTML. In addition to the HOWTOs, there are a multitude of mini-HOWTOs on short, specific subjects. _________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2. Where Can I Get Linux HOWTOs? HOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the following sites: * [17]ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO * [18]ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO as well as many [19]mirror sites. You can also browse HOWTOs [20]in HTML format or grab [21]Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz for viewing on your own PC. The files will be extracted into HOWTO/html/. Many [22]mirror sites mirror the HTML files. www.linuxdoc.org is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if possible. A HOWTO index is also posted towards the beginning of the month to the Usenet newsgroupcomp.os.linux.answers. There is a tool called [23]NewstoHOWTO that will assemble the postings. _________________________________________________________________ Chapter 3.

Special HOWTOs The High Availability HOWTO, by Harald Milz is available at [414]http://metalab.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. _________________________________________________________________ Chapter 8. Unmaintained HOWTOs There are a number of unmaintained documents, which can be found at: [415]http://metalab.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. If the date tag is too old, please consider the HOWTO as unmaintained. However, there are exceptions, such as old programs (for example UUCP HOWTO) or not-so-hot topics (for example AX-25 HOWTO). _________________________________________________________________ Chapter 9. Writing and Submitting a HOWTO If you are interested in writing or maintaining a HOWTO, please contact us FIRST!!! at [416]ldp-discuss@lists.linuxdoc.org. If you want to maintain a unmaintained HOWTO, please try to contact the former author. Consult the [417]HOWTO-HOWTO for detailed information on writing and submitting a HOWTO. Here are a few general guidelines that you should follow when writing a 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. * Make sure that all of the information is correct. We 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, fullpathname), and the current version number and release date of the software. * Include an FAQ section at the end, if appropriate. Many HOWTO documents need a ``FAQ'' or ``Common Problems'' section to cover information which cannot be covered in the regular text. * HOWTOs should be submitted to us in either DocBook or linuxdoc SGML. Refer to the [418]HOWTO-HOWTO for further information. * Use other HOWTOs a model. The SGML source to the HOWTOs is available on Linux FTP sites. In addition, examine the [419]HOWTO-HOWTO, the [420]LDP manifesto (and license guide), and the [421]Using DocBook HOWTO. * 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 postal 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 Tim Bynum v2.10.29, 31 July 1997 * Lastly, be prepared to receive questions and comments about your writing. There are several hundreds of accesses to thei HOWTO collection every day from around the world! After you have written the HOWTO, mail the SGML source to us at [422]ldp-submit@lists.linuxdoc.org. It is important that you go through us when submitting a HOWTO, as we maintain the archives and need to keep track of what HOWTOs are being written and who is doing what. Please send the LDP periodic updates whenever appropriate. _________________________________________________________________ Chapter 10. Copyright Copyright (c) 1995 - 2000 by Tim Bynum.
