Chapter 1. What Are Linux HOWTOs?
Linux HOWTOs are documents which describe in detail a certain aspect of
configuring or using Linux. For example, there is the Installation HOWTO,
which gives instructions on installing Linux, and the Mail Administrator
HOWTO, which describes how to set up and configure mail under Linux. Other
examples include the Net HOWTO and the Printing HOWTO.
HOWTOs are comprehensive docs - much like an FAQ but generally not in
question-and-answer format. However, many HOWTOs contain a FAQ section at the
end.
There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text, PostScript, PDF, and
HTML.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2. Where Can I Get Linux HOWTOs?
HOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from [ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/
Linux/docs/HOWTO/] ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/ as well as
from many [http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/MIRRORS.html] mirror sites around
the world. Please use a mirror site if possible.
You can also browse HOWTOs in [howtos.html] HTML format or grab [http://
www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html/
Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz] Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz for viewing on your own
workstation. The files will be extracted into HOWTO/.
Other formats can be accessed from the HOWTO [http://tldp.org/docs.html#
howto] documents page of the LDP.
Many [http://tldp.org/mirrors.html] mirror sites mirror the HTML files.
tldp.org is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if possible.

Chapter 6. Single list of mini-HOWTOs
The mini-HOWTOs have been folded into the [howtos.html] full list of HOWTOs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 7. Unmaintained HOWTOs
There are a number of unmaintained documents, which can be found at: [http://
www.tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html] http://tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html.
These are kept around since old documentation is sometimes better than none.
However, you should be aware that you are reading old documentation.
If the date tag is too old, please consider the HOWTO as unmaintained.
However, there are exceptions, such as those that document older programs and
procedures that still might be in use, or those that cover more obscure
topics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 8. Writing and Submitting a HOWTO
If you are interested in writing or maintaining a HOWTO, please contact us
FIRST at [mailto:feedback@en.tldp.org] feedback@en.tldp.org. If you want to
maintain a unmaintained HOWTO, please try to contact the former author.
Consult the [../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/index.html] LDP Author Guide for
detailed information on writing and submitting a HOWTO.
Here are a few general guidelines that you should follow when writing a
HOWTO:
* Try to use meaningful structure and organization, and write clearly.
Remember that many of the people reading HOWTOs do not speak English as
their first language.
* Make sure that all of the information is correct. We can't stress this
enough. When in doubt, speculate, but make it clear that you're only
guessing.
* Make sure that you are covering the most recent version of the available
software. Also, be sure to include full instructions on where software
can be downloaded from (FTP site name, fullpathname), and the current
version number and release date of the software.
* Include an FAQ section at the end, if appropriate. Many HOWTO documents
need a ``FAQ'' or ``Common Problems'' section to cover information which
cannot be covered in the regular text.
* HOWTOs should be submitted to us in either DocBook or linuxdoc SGML; or
DocBook XML. Refer to the [../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/index.html] LDP
Author Guide for further information.
* Use other HOWTOs a model. The SGML/XML source to the HOWTOs is available
on Linux FTP sites. In addition, examine the [../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/
index.html] LDP Author Guide, the [../../manifesto.html] LDP manifesto
(and license guide), and the [../../authors/index.html] Authors Resources
area of the LDP site.
* Make sure that your name, email address, date, and a version number is
near the beginning of the document. You could also include WWW addresses
and a postal mail address if you want. The standard header is: Title /
Author's name and email address / Version number and date. For example:
The LDP Sample HOWTO by various_authors v6.1, 2001-05-01
Refer to the [../../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/index.html] LDP Author Guide for
further information.
* Lastly, be prepared to receive questions and comments about your writing.
There are several hundreds of accesses to the HOWTO collection every day
from around the world.
After you have written the HOWTO, mail the SGML source to us at [mailto:
submit@en.tldp.org] submit@en.tldp.org.
It is important that you go through us when submitting a HOWTO, as we
maintain the archives and need to keep track of what HOWTOs are being written
and who is doing what.
Please send the LDP periodic updates whenever appropriate.
