The local guide is intended to be site-specific, to tell people how to do and where to find various things. It usually does *not* come with the distribution, but should be written by the local maintainer. There is an example of the local guide, written by L. Lamport for *his* site. I didn't find it in Debian's TeTeX installation but I have it on another installation, I could send it to you if you're interested. I also wrote a local guide for our site, in French. I'll give the URL if you want to have a look. -- Mamoun ALISSALI LIUM Tel: (33-2) -02-43 83 38 47 UNIVERSITE DU MAINE Fax: (33-2) -02-43 83 38 68 Avenue Olivier Messiaen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 72085 LE MANS CEDEX 9 http://www-ic2.univ-lemans.fr/~alissali
