Re: is there a Debian specific published manual
Hi: Inquiry was made regarding published (I assumed commercial) books/ manuals on Debian. A reply from Fuzzy [EMAIL PROTECTED], indicated some of the debian website things, whiich are indispensible. Beyond the HOWTOs, files in /usr/doc/... Dale Scheetz has written a book specifc to Debian. It primarily treats installation. I wish I had had it when I began installing Debian. I have not connection to Dale, nor Linux Press other than I bought the book and think it is worth the purchase price. The Debian Linux User's Guide by Dale Scheetz with Official Debian Linux binary and source CDs + a third CD with useful other goodies Price: $37.95 + shipping It comes with 30 days telephone support. I was told that Dale does the support. He has been a developer and his email help to me has been invaluable. Email support by whoever might reply from the list remains free. It is published by Linux Press, POB 220 Penngrove CA 94951, Voice: (707)773 4916 FAX: (707)765 1431 http://www.linuxpress.com The webpage has a copy of the text in html format that may be downloaded, under very mild restrictions that protect the print copyright. --David --- LINUX: the FREE 32 bit OS for [3456]86 PC's available NOW!

Re: is there a Debian specific published manual
See the docs at www.debian.org . There are quite a few. Also there is a book on debian (OReilly ?) , its also on the net, but I can't remember where.

Thanks It's too big to post to the list (365KB), and it's written in html, and redistribution requires permission by the publisher, Linux Press--it's available in a printed form (256 pages) with the Debian cdrom set, a custom debian cdrom, and 30 days email tech support for $37.95. I'd call it an installation and configuration guide. Can you have someone mail it to you as an attachment, then save it? I tried saving it as text to see if that would reduce the size much, but it's still 305KB. If you'd like, I'll send it to you, let me know if you want html or text. I got a non-delivery to all recipients reply on my last Cc: to you, so if you didn't get a Cc: from me on this, you'll have to tell me how to get through. Some good news for you: I found that program that allows you to receive ftp service via e-mail, it's called ftpmail. The way you use it is described by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word help in the body of the message. ftpmail will allow you to receive all file types, even binary files (uuencoded), and you can find the files you want to retrieve by requesting the output of ls in an ftpsite. Presumably there are examples in the help file, I haven't received a reply yet. I used to know someone who said this was a pretty good program, for those without an isp. -- David Stern StarOffice 4.0 for Linux Beta Install Guide http://weber.u.washington.edu/~kotsya/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
