  The Linux HOWTO Index
  by Greg Hankins, gregh@sunsite.unc.edu
  v2.9.27, 5 June 1996

  This document contains an index to the Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs,
  as well as other information about the HOWTO project.

  1.  What Are Linux HOWTOs?

  Linux HOWTOs are documents which describe in detail a certain aspect
  of configuring or using Linux. For example, there is the Installation
  HOWTO, which gives instructions on installing Linux, and the Mail
  HOWTO, which describes how to set up and configure mail under Linux.
  Other examples include the NET2 HOWTO and the Printing HOWTO.

  HOWTOs are comprehensive docs - much like an FAQ but generally not in
  question-and-answer format. However, many HOWTOs contain an FAQ
  section at the end.

  There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text, PostScript,
  DVI, and HTML.

  In addition to the HOWTOs, there are a multitude of mini-HOWTOs.
  These are short, specific HOWTOs, such as the Colour-ls mini-HOWTO.
  They are only available in plain text format.

  2.  Where Do I Get Linux HOWTOs?

  HOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the following sites:

    ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO

    ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO

  as well as many mirror sites
  <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/MIRRORS.html>.

  You can also browse HOWTOs in HTML format
  <http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/> on the World Wide Web.  Many
  mirror sites <http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/hmirrors.html> also mirror
  the HOWTO WWW files.

  sunsite.unc.edu is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if
  possible.

  HOWTOs are also posted monthly to the Usenet newsgroup
  comp.os.linux.answers.

  4.  HOWTO Project Developement

  4.1.  Wanted HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs

  If you are interested in writing about any of these subject, please
  get in touch with me at
  gregh@sunsite.unc.edu.

    Notebook HOWTO or Notebook mini-HOWTO.  A guide to notebooks -
     information about power management, LCD displays, video controlers,
     pointers to related material (PCMCIA-HOWTO), and most anything
     pertaining to notebooks.

    A Disk HOWTO about disks, partitions, swap space, formatting,
     filesystems, etc.

    If you have an idea for another HOWTO or mini-HOWTO, please get in
     touch.

  4.2.  HOWTOs Currently Under Contsruction

    A SMP HOWTO (multiprocessor support for Linux) (7 February 1996).

    A BBS guide with FIDO information is being written (15 February
     1996).

    A Samba HOWTO is being written (4 March 1996).

    An Information Services HOWTO is being written (5 March 1996).

    A Microchannel Bus mini-HOWTO is under construction (17 March
     1996).

  4.3.  Writing and Submitting a HOWTO

  If you would like to write a Linux HOWTO document, there are a few
  guidelines that you should follow.

    Get in touch with me first, and let me know you want to work on
     something.  You can reach me at gregh@sunsite.unc.edu.

    Try to use meaningful structure and organization, and write
     clearly. Remember that many of the people reading HOWTOs do not
     speak English as their first language.

    If you are writing a HOWTO, you must use the Linuxdoc-SGML package,
     available from
     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/text/, to format the HOWTO. This
     package allows us to produce LaTeX (for DVI and PostScript), plain
     text, and HTML from a single source document, and was designed by
     Matt Welsh specifically for the HOWTOs. This also gives all of the
     HOWTOs a uniform look.

    If you are writing a mini-HOWTO, you can use any form you wish.
     mini-HOWTOs are meant to be short, free-form HOWTOs on very
     specific subjects. In general, these should be quick to write and
     maintain, so it's not worth bothering with the Linuxdoc-SGML
     package.  This does not mean that the mini-HOWTOs are any less
     important!  Only plain text versions of mini-HOWTOs are
     distributed.

    Make sure that all of the information is correct. I can't stress
     this enough. When in doubt, speculate, but make it clear that
     you're only guessing.

    Make sure that you are covering the most recent version of the
     available software. Also, be sure to include full instructions on
     where software can be downloaded from (FTP site name, full
     pathname), and the current version number and release date of the
     software.

    Include an FAQ section at the end, if appropriate. Many HOWTO
     documents need an ``FAQ'' or ``Common Problems'' section to cover
     information which can't be covered in the regular text.

    Use other HOWTOs as a model.  The SGML source to the HOWTOs is
     available on Linux FTP sites.

    Lastly, be prepared to receive questions and comments about your
     writing.  There are several hundreds of accesses to the HOWTO
     collection every day from around the world!

  After you have written the HOWTO, mail it to me.  If you used
  Linuxdoc-SGML, simply mail me the SGML source; I take care of
  formatting the documents.  I'll also take care of archiving the HOWTOs
  on sunsite.unc.edu and posting them to the various newsgroups.

  It is important that you go through me when submitting a HOWTO, as I
  maintain the archives and need to keep track of what HOWTOs are being
  written and who is doing what.

  Then, all you have to do is send me periodic updates whenever
  appropriate.
