I've just used konqueror with a split window to drag, drop and copy each page
on other on-line manuals. I just started with yours, created a new folder
called linux_guide and just started copying each link into it when I got to
the one that says: "Download everything". You can actually copy that page
also or open it and follow the instructions to download the entire manual in
different formats.
If you continue to copy each link into the folder then that folder can be
opened with a browser and used just like the original. If you're online and
the folder recognizes a url it will go to it. However if it can't recognize
the url (say it was a url on the original host) it can't go to it. I haven't
had that happen to me yet. Also graphics are left out of the finished manual
this way - I've tried to get the graphics separately but haven't figured a
way yet. Let me know if you find a way.
