Hello Andrea, I wondered why these great docs weren't packaged. They were even in Slackware years ago when I used that!
So I decided to package it. I looked at it and decided that HTML would be best, but couldn't find the tools to build them. I email the author (see below) but never got a reply :-( In any case, I don't think it's non-free since it is documentation and not software. Good luck with it!

I am considering doing this since this book was very useful to me when I started using Linux (and many times since). Do you have objections to this? I think the license is okay for this purpose. I think HTML docs would probably be best (for insertion of graphics and all that jazz). In this case, I could start from your pre-assembled HTML tar file. I could also start from your original sources in TeX. In many ways, this would be best; Some low-bandwidth users who want postscript (for example) would have the TeX sources on Debian's source CD. I couldn't see an HTML target in the Makefile. Do you make a texi file and then use texi2html? If so, can you point me to the source of the `texify' program used in the Makefile?
