in a roundabout way, that's a tip, isn't it? :) (learn something new every day. "the truth is out there..." all we gotta do is know 1) it's there 2) to look for it, 3) WHERE to look for it... :) -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #12 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Where is the DOCUMENTATION? It's all over the place... and there's lots of it. Much was written for non-debian distributions, and much was written long, long ago. But try these anyhow: on your own system, try "man" and "info" and "apropos", and also look under /usr/share/doc/<package>* ... Online, there's linuxdoc.org, debianhelp.org, and debian.org/doc/ of course. Also try http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/general/index-deb-help-sys.html Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
