If you have access to the Internet, there are many Linux documents available
|
|
via anonymous FTP from archive sites all over the world. If you do not
|
|
have direct Internet access, these documents may still be available to you:
|
|
many Linux distributions on CD-ROM contain all of the documents mentioned
|
|
here. Also, they are distributed on many other networks, such as Fidonet
|
|
and CompuServe. If you are able to send mail to Internet sites, you may be able
|
|
to retrieve these files using one of the <tt>ftpmail</tt> servers which will
|
|
electronically mail you the documents or files from FTP archive sites.
|
|
See Appendix <A HREF="node235.html#appftplistnum">C</A> for more information on using <tt>ftpmail</tt>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
There is a great number of FTP archive sites which carry Linux software and
|
|
related documents. A list of well-known Linux archive sites is given in
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node235.html#appftplistnum">C</A>. In order to reduce network traffic, you should
|
|
always use the FTP site which is geographically (network-wise) closest to you.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Appendix <A HREF="node225.html#appsourcesnum">A</A> contains a listing of some of the Linux documents
|
|
which are available via anonymous FTP. The filenames will differ depending on
|
|
the archive site in question; most sites keep Linux-related documents in the
|
|
<tt>docs</tt> subdirectory of their Linux archive space. For example, on the FTP
|
|
site <tt>sunsite.unc.edu</tt>, Linux files are stored in the directory
|
|
<tt>/pub/Linux</tt>, with Linux-related documentation being found in
|
|
<tt>/pub/Linux/docs</tt>.

Examples of available online documents are the <em>Linux FAQ</em>, a collection
|
|
of frequently asked questions about Linux; the Linux <em>HOWTO</em> documents,
|
|
each describing a specific aspect of the system---including the
|
|
<em>Installation HOWTO</em>, the <em>Printing HOWTO</em>, and the
|
|
<em>Ethernet HOWTO</em>; and, the Linux META-FAQ, a list of other sources of Linux
|
|
information on the Internet.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Most of these documents are also regularly posted to one or more
|
|
Linux-related USENET newsgroups; see Section <A HREF="node47.html#secintrousenet">1.9.4</A>
|
|
below.
