That's what it is. It's called a users guide because users should read it. It's not a manual, it's a guide, so giving some basics on everything probably doesn't hurt. You misunderstood me. I don't know how you see the difference between a guide and a manual, but here is how I see it; a guide is a step by step document on how to achieve a specific task (ex. installing Debian GNU/Hurd), a manual discusses a specific tool both in detail, and in general terms. (ex. using bash). The bash manual discusses topics about how to use the shell, what the shell is, what features the shell has etc. All very useful both for a user and for a shell script hacker. The same goes for GDB, Emacs, etc. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
