<H2>Notes on this book</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Linux Installation and Getting Started</I> is an installation and
|
|
new-user guide to the Linux system. Linux is a free clone of the UNIX
|
|
operating system developed for 80386 and 80486 machines. This book
|
|
describes how to obtain and install Linux on your system, as well as how
|
|
to start using it. Information on configuration of X-Windows, basic
|
|
system administration, and much more is included.

This HTML version of the book was provided by
|
|
Ken Edwards (<code>edwards@xon.cuug.ab.ca</code>),
|
|
and was generated using
|
|
<code>latex2html</code>. As such, there are several technical glitches
|
|
in the book---the index isn't perfect, and anything which
|
|
<code>latex2html</code> doesn't understand appears as a small inline image.
|
|
If you don't want to get all of these images, tell your WWW client
|
|
not to load inline images.
