HOWTOs 332Comer88 Douglas R.Comer: Internetworking with TCP IP: Principles, Protocols, andArchitecture.Prentice-Hall International, 1988.HOWTOsThe following is an excerpt of the HOWTO-INDEX, version 2.0 17 March 1994 , written by MattWelsh.What are Linux HOWTOs?Linux HOWTOs are short online documents which describe in detail a certain aspect of con guringor using the Linux system.For example, there is the Installation HOWTO, which gives instructionson installing Linux, and the Mail HOWTO, which describes how to set up and con gure mail underLinux.Other examples include the NET-2-HOWTO previously the NET-2-FAQ and the PrintingHOWTO.Information in HOWTOs is generally more detailed and in-depth than what can be squeezedinto the Linux FAQ.For this reason, the Linux FAQ is being rewritten.A large amount of theinformation contained therein will be relegated to various HOWTO documents.The FAQ will bea shorter list of frequently asked questions about Linux, covering small speci c topics.Most of theuseful" information in the FAQ will now be covered in the HOWTOs.HOWTOs are comprehensive documents|much like an FAQ but generally not in question-and-answer format.However, many HOWTOs contain an FAQ section at the end.For example, theNET-2-FAQ has been renamed to the NET-2-HOWTO, because it wasn't in question-and-answerformat.However, you will see the NET-2-HOWTO named as the NET-2-FAQ in many places.Thetwo docs are one and the same.Where to get Linux HOWTOsHOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the following sites:sunsite.unc.edu: pub Linux docs HO WTOtsx-11.mit.edu: pub linux docs HO WTOas well as the many mirror sites, which are listed in the Linux META-FAQ see below.The Index, printed below, lists the currently available HOWTOs.HOWTOs are also posted regularly to the newsgroups comp.os.linux andcomp.os.linux.announce.In addition, a number of the HOWTOs will be crossposted tonews.answers.Therefore, you can nd the Linux HOWTOs on the news.answers archive sitertfm.mit.edu.
