- NEW USERS: WHERE TO GET THE LINUX FAQ (please read)
-
- In response to the numerous postings that continually ask questions covered
- in the FAQ for this group, I'm going to post this article to reiterate where
- new readers and users of Linux can find the FAQ. I will post it for a while.
- It suppliments the Meta-FAQ. :)
-
- PLEASE: EVERYONE read the FAQ for this group before posting questions. Many
- people (myself included) worked hard to produce the FAQ to accurately answer
- all of your questions. The new version of the FAQ (with many updates,
- clarifications, etc.) will only come out every month! So you won't see it
- posted that often. In the meantime you'll have to get it in one of the
- following ways:
-
- 1) ftp to tsx-11.mit.edu. It's the file /pub/linux/FAQ. It's one big
- ASCII file (about 150k).
- or ftp to sunsite.unc.edu. It's the file /pub/Linux/docs/FAQ. Again, one
- big ASCII file, same thing as on tsx-11.mit.edu.
-
- 2) If you don't have FTP access, you can retrieve it via the mailserver at
- pit-manager.mit.edu. Send mail to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with the
- word "help" in the body.
- or If you simply can't find the FAQ, I will mail it to you myself. Just
- send me mail (mdw@tc.cornell.edu).
-
- 3) The most recent FAQ will be posted to comp.os.linux and news.answers
- every month (if you want to wait...).
-
- FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Read the "Meta-FAQ" posted weekly to this group.
- It gives you all of the pointers on where to look for Linux information.
-
- Thanks.
