Linux HOWTOs

The Linux HOWTOs are a collection of documents which cover specific subjects related to GNU/Linux. Most Linux HOWTOs are not tailored to a specific distribution, therefore they are very useful for Slackware Linux users. The linux- howtos package in the “f” software set contains the HOWTO collection. After installing this package the HOWTOs are available from the /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/ directory. Slackware Linux also contains a small collection of Linux-related FAQs (FAQs are documents that answer Frequently Asked Questions). The Linux FAQs are installed to the /usr/doc/Linux-FAQs/ directory, and are available from the linux-faqs package, which is also part of the “f” software set.

The /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/ directory is large - the file /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/HOWTO-INDEX is an excellent guide.
