- If you're looking for the man pages, they should be available on all the
- major Linux FTP sites.
-
- If you are looking for the actual printed "nice" canonical set of Linux
- manuals, they're currently, um, in my head right now. I just have to get around
- to writing them down. :) Actually, the DOC channel of the mailing list is
- working on them as we speak (right, guys?). We're producing the Install/Setup
- Guide, the User's Guide, System Admin's Guide, Kernel Hacker's Guide, and more.
- As I've posted before, please join the DOC channel and/or ask me or Lars
- Wirzenius (wirzeniu@cc.helsinki.fi) about how to get involved with the project.
-
- We'll be producing both LaTeX format printed manuals and texinfo format
- online/printed docs. We're also working on man pages (both nroff and texi
- format).
-
- I'll be happy to answer any questions about the Doc Project (or, I can
- just mail you my posting about the status of the project if you missed it).
-
- Thanks,
- mdw
