Older versions of Redhat used to contain many of the
available HOWTO
documents in /usr/doc/HOWTO. Fedora Core 2 doesn't
seem to provide these
files anywhere. Can anyone tell me the reason for
this (or where I might
find the documentation installed if I missed it)?
While these files are
available on the net, it is nice to have a local
copy in the case of
problems and I want to save myself having to
download (some of) them over
a slow connection.
There are several reasons for this
1) Not all documents are reliable or updated as much
as others. We are doing what we can at
tldp.org to
review these documents and contact these authors to
get the document updated or pushed out into the
unmaintained tree.
2) Some of these documents need to get updated very
frequently
3)Redhat may not want the liability for any incorrect
information present in these docs.
4) Many of them are completely irrelevant to
Redhat/Fedora Linux
I suggest you take a look at
tldp.org. There are
documents available in multiple formats include
single/multipage html for online view and downloads,
pdf and text too.
