Hi:

If you are short of capital or a long way from a bookstore that stocks books
on Linux, a free and excellent alternative is a DOS readable text document
called 'install-guide-2.2.2.txt' available at sunsite.unc.edu,
'/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/docs/install-guide/' or at
www.cdrom.com, '/pub/linux/slackware-3.3/docs/install-guide/'.

This is a 250+ page book that forms a major component of 'Running Linux' and
the first article in 'Linux: The Complete Reference' et al. Just drop it
into your favorite word processor, delete those portions dealing with side
issues, format for your printer (big left margins - small right margins),
print - punch and bind into a folder.

For the cost of paper and ink you have an excellent learning handbook with
index - It just doesn't get any better than that!

Top that, Microsoft!

And do have fun.

Regards,

Brian.
