+               Linux Installation and Getting Started  
+                 by Matt Welsh <mdw@sunsite.unc.edu>
+                        v2.2.2, 12 February 1994
+
+Linux Installation and Getting Started is a book for anyone wishing to 
+dive into the Linux world. It covers what Linux is, how to get it, and how 
+to install it on your machine. Also included is an introductory tutorial to 
+using Linux for UNIX novices, and chapters on Linux system administration and 
+advanced features of Linux, such as the X Window System, TCP/IP networking, 
+and more. 
+
+This book is freely distributable under certain conditions (see below). 
+This license allows anyone to print and distribute verbatim copies of
+the book. I encourage publishing companies and printing houses to do so.
+In particular, I encourage distributors of Linux software to use this book
+as an installation guide. (After all, that's why I wrote it!) If you don't 
+find the instructions contained therein specific enough, you can provide 
+your own short "installation supplement" to go along with the book. 
+
+Changes in version 2.2.2: Many typo corrections, added information on
+installing the Slackware distribution, and a complete section on installing 
+and configuring XFree86 3.1. 
+
+The book has been uploaded to sunsite.unc.edu in the directory 
+	/pub/Linux/docs/LDP/install-guide 
+
+Other sites, such as tsx-11.mit.edu, should mirror this soon. The book is 
+also available in printed form via mail order from SSC, Inc. See below for 
+more information.
+
+The files below ending in the .gz extension have been compressed with
+gzip. Gzip is available from many FTP sites, including prep.ai.mit.edu
+in /pub/gnu. An MS-DOS version of Gzip can be found on sunsite.unc.edu
+in /pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/GZIP.EXE.
+
+The files without the .gz extension are plain, uncompressed
+files. Many readers were having trouble getting Gzip for MS-DOS and
+other platforms, so I am providing both gzipped and ungzipped versions
+of the files on the FTP sites. 
+
+The gzipped files are identical to their non-gzipped counterparts.
+You only need to get one or the other, not both.
+
+The files are:
+
+        install-guide-2.2.2.ps
+	install-guide-2.2.2.ps.gz
+           PostScript output, ready to print, 236 pages. 
+           Should print fine on US letter or A4 paper. You can
+           also view this with Ghostview. 
+
+	parts/chapter0.ps.gz, parts/chapter1.ps.gz, ...
+	   The "parts" subdirectory contains individual PostScript 
+	   files for each chapter of the book, as some people have 
+	   had problems printing the single PostScript file above. In 
+	   addition, the file appendix.ps.gz contains the appendices
+	   and index. Each of these files should be printed separately. 
+
+        install-guide-2.2.2.dvi
+        install-guide-2.2.2.dvi.gz
+           .dvi (device independent) TeX output. 236 pages. 
+	   ou can view this with xdvi or convert to another format with 
+	   the various DVI tools if you wish. For example, dvips will 
+	   generate PostScript from this file, dvilj2p will produce HP 
+	   LaserJet IIP output, etc. See the comp.text.tex FAQ for details.
+
+        install-guide-2.1.1.txt
+        install-guide-2.1.1.txt.gz
+           Plain ASCII output. This is made available mostly for previewing 
+	   purposes---it is rather ugly. I DO NOT recommend reading the 
+	   plain ASCII if you can help it---the PostScript and .dvi versions 
+	   look very nice in comparison. It's also for the previous
+	   version of the book, v2.1.1.
+
+        install-guide-2.2.2.tar.gz
+           Complete LaTeX source, including formatting macros
+           and style file. You need this only if you want to 
+           format the book from scratch. (For example, for printing
+	   two-sided.) Otherewise one of the above files will do. 
+	   This is a gzipped UNIX tar file.

+`Lasu' Releases SAG 0.3 -- Freeware Book Takes Paves For New World Order
+by staff writers
+
+Helsinki, Finland, August 6, 1995 -- In a surprise movement, Lars
+``Lasu'' Wirzenius today released the 0.3 edition of the ``Linux System
+Administrators' Guide''.  Already an industry non-classic, the new
+version sports such overwhelming features as an overview of a Linux
+system, a completely new climbing session in a tree, and a list of
+acknowledgements in the introduction.
+	The SAG, as the book is affectionately called, is one of the
+corner stones of the Linux Documentation Project.  ``We at the LDP feel
+that we wouldn't be able to produce anything at all, that all our work
+would be futile, if it weren't for the SAG,'' says Matt Welsh, director
+of LDP, Inc.
+	The new version is still distributed freely, now even with a
+copyright that allows modification.  ``More dough,'' explains the author.
+Despite insistent rumors about blatant commercialization, the SAG will
+probably remain free.  ``Even more dough,'' promises the author.
+	The author refuses to comment on Windows NT and Windows 96
+versions, claiming not to understand what the question is about.
+Industry gossip, however, tells that Bill Gates, co-founder and CEO of
+Microsoft, producer of the Windows series of video games, has visited
+Helsinki several times this year.  Despite of this, Linus Torvalds,
+author of the word processor Linux with which the SAG was written, is
+not worried.  ``We'll have world domination real soon now, anyway,'' he
+explains, ``for 1.4 at the lastest.''
+	The SAG is one of the major products developed via the Information
+Superhighway, the brain child of Al Gore, US Vice President.  The ISHW
+is being developed with massive govenment funding, since studies show
+that it already has more than four hundred users, three years before
+the first prototypes are ready.  Asked whether he was worried about the
+foreign influence in an expensive American Dream, the vice president
+said, ``Finland?  Oh, we've already bought them, but we haven't told
+anyone yet.  They're great at building model airplanes as well.  And _I_
+can spell potato.''  House representatives are not mollified, however,
+wanting to see the terms of the deal first, fearing another Alaska.
+	Rumors about the SAG release have imbalanced the American stock
+market for weeks.  Several major publishing houses reached an all time
+low in the New York Stock Exchange, while publicly competing for the
+publishing agreement with Mr. Wirzenius.  The negotiations did not work
+out, tough.  ``Not enough dough,'' says the author, although spokesmen
+at both Prentice-Hall and Playboy, Inc., claim the author was incapable
+of expressing his wishes in a coherent form during face to face talks,
+preferring to communicate via e-mail.  ``He kept muttering something
+about jiffies and pegs,'' they say.
+	The central Superhighway site called ``sunsite.unc.edu''
+collapsed in the morning before the release.  News about the release had
+been leaked by a German hacker group, Harmonious Hardware Hackers, who
+had cracked into the author's computer earlier in the week.  They had
+got the release date wrong by one day, and caused dozens of eager fans
+to connect to the sunsite computer at the wrong time.  ``No computer can
+handle that kind of stress,'' explained the mourning sunsite manager,
+Erik Troan.  ``The spinning disks made the whole computer jump, and
+finally it crashed through the floor to the basement.''  Luckily,
+repairs were swift and the computer was working again the same evening.
+``Thank God we were able to buy enough needles and thread and patch it
+together without major problems.''  The site has also installed a new
+throttle on the network pipe, allowing at most four clients at the same
+time, thus making a new crash less likely.  ``The book is now in our
+Incoming folder'', says Troan, ``and you're all welcome to come and get it.''
