It contains all the HOWTO's, the kernal hackers guide etc (LDP), the new edition apparently contains something like 48 mini-howto's + howto's etc. My copy has about 1600 pages and the 4th edition has 1800 pages I think. The actual text of the documents appears to be a straight dump of the text on-line with bold text for editors notes. Have a look at the Yggdrasil home page at: http://yggdrasil.com/ they publish the Linux Bible. This is slow link but Leonard Chan at Cetus Technologies has a bit of a description in his catalogue (you may need to 'search' for it though) his was also the cheapest price delivered of all the shops online in Australia : http://www.zip.com.au/~lychan/ -- --------------==============00OOOOOOOOOOO00=============---------------- Allan R.
