Hi Friends. First, thanks to all who have helped me get the most updated version of Fc3 during the past few days. I am now at the stage of preparing myself to install it on my home pc. Let me, from the start, point out that I am totally new to linux, having been brought up, as it were, on the Windows' tradition of doing things. My intention of branching into the Linux OS is so that I will be able to broaden my horizons in computer programming, and who knows, i may be able to program for Linux one day. As for now, I'll need lots of advice and guidance.
I recently downloaded a linux user's guide from www.tldp.org and my question is, especially to those who have consulted it, is it sufficient for me to get by with it? Also, are there any mannuals floating around which deals with fresh users like me, which is easily obtainable and is easy for new bees like me to understand? And apart from www.linux-speakup.org are there any more sites that deal with Linux from an accessible stand point that I can consult and refer to? Also, is there some sort of glossary of linux commands that I can study for now? Sorry for the many questions, but As I stated earlier, I am a totally new user of linux, and for now, I'll need as much help and advice as I can get. Thanks in advance and cheers!

There are some pointers near the end of our Speakup Modified Fedora
Installation HOWTO you might want to follow. The pointer to the HOWTO
for DOS/Windows users is particularly advisable.
Also, consult the Red Hat 9 docs referenced in the HOWTO. They're
absolutely useful, especially for an overview.
As for docs in addition to tldp.org, I strongly suggest BookShare for
their O'Reily titles. Or, you could sign up for O'Reily's Safari
service.

Hi:
Wellcom to the world of Linux. Not too long ago I was a fresh user too. I made it and it was a great choice, I do things
today that I could not have imagined possible. If I can do it, anyone can!
One thing though, it is hard to point you to a command reference that can help you get started, because there are thousands
of potential commands in Linux/Unix and pointing out a few that will be useful for everyone is not easy. However, the best
place to look for someone who is just starting is the "info" pages for the GNU core utilities. The core utilities contain
all of the programs that you will use most. For example, the programs to cut, copy, rename, move, delete, shred, view
files are all part of the core utilities. These are without a doute a requirement for anyone that wants to use
command-line Linux. So to get information about the core utilities you can type this command: info coreutils.
The "info" system is a help/documentation system that allows you to quickly get help with any command that you might be
looking for. If you find a command and you want to know what it does, all you have to do is type: info command-name.
Also, the "man" command is a help system that allows you to get info about programs on your system. If a program does not
have an "info" page, it might have a "man" page.
Here are some programs you might want to look into:
file == Get properties of any file.
nano == A simple text editor, wonderful for new users.
ncftp == An easy command line FTP client.
yum == Easily install/remove software packages from your machine.
cdrecord/mkisofs == Create CD's/DVD's both data and audio.
mplayer == The most powerful media player on the plannet, play everything!
lame == Makes mp3's from wave files.
oggenc == Make OGG/vorbis audio files (recommended).
There are thousands more...
Hope this helps!

To: jaffar, Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
Try googling for the newbedock project on sourceforge. To the person who
enquired about making a kernel in Debian, also google there for the
kernel-package howto. Read that howto in conjunction with the kernel-package
documentation and wherever the latest draft of the kernel-howto is on the
tldp.org site. The kerneltrap.org site may have some helpful forums you can
brows.

I should point out that I've never been a subscriber, but I did look at
their examples some months ago and found the service very accessible.
They use very clean html, imho, with docbook sgml on their back end, I
believe.
However, I also think it important to point out that Book Share has
access to all O'Reily titles, though their markup leaves much to be
desired.

I am aware of book share's O'riley's collection. I am also aware of how
the collection was created. As I have been told, the source for the
bookshare was flat text files. So this is going to have a significant
impact on the mark-up of the text. I was think of looking into safari to
see if it would be any better. I know that O'Riley has been a big
advocate of making their publications available to the print disabled
community in the past, so it doesn't surprise me to hear that the safari
service is accessible.

Well, you're wrong. The source was certainly not flat ASCII. BookShare
has O'Reily's sgml and used scripts to transform the markup.

Actually, the markup of these books in bookshare.org is quite good.
There is no way these were created from flat text files. I know most
books in the bookshare collection leave something to be desired in the
markup area, but the O'reilley collection is the exception.
The drawback to the Safari solution is that you must read the books on
line, and navigation from section to section, while accessible, is a
pain.
Don't even try copying a section to your clipboard, the service will
lock you out.

Actually, I was extremely disappointed in Bookshare's markup of these
books. In fact, they claim to have DAISY materials up there and none of
the O'Reilley books work with DAISY and they even say so on the website.
When I download the DAISY version of the O'Reilley books, I have to open
up the HTML part and from what I've experienced in the past, I had no
links to navigte to. If I were in IE or Firefox, I could use the
Window-Eyes' H command to jump from one header to the next but that's
hardly what I call good navigation.
I agree; the online services of Safari don't allow for any offline
reading so I guess there's a trade off. I have beaten this drumb
enough times with no results, but I really wish Bookshare could improve
the DAISY markup of the O'Reilly collection.
Also, someone asked if the entire collection was on Bookshare. I don't
think so and the reason I say that is I was referred to a book on Win
2000 securety one time Nd I could *NOT* find it on Bookshare and it had
been touted as an O'Reilley book. So I dunno for sure.

This is not at all the experience I have had with the Daisy version of
these books. I use the Book Wizard Reader software (in Windows) to
either read them on the PC or I send them to the Book Port. In either
case, headings, sections, and subsections are all properly marked up and
navigable.
These are Daisy 3.x books, so if you have a daisy 2.x reader, they will
not work properly.
The entire collection is definatly not on bookshare.org, but many of
them are.

Actually, I was extremely disappointed in Bookshare's markup of these
books. In fact, they claim to have DAISY materials up there and none
of
the O'Reilley books work with DAISY and they even say so on the
website.
When I download the DAISY version of the O'Reilley books, I have to
open
up the HTML part and from what I've experienced in the past, I had no
links to navigte to. If I were in IE or Firefox, I could use the
Window-Eyes' H command to jump from one header to the next but that's
hardly what I call good navigation.
I agree; the online services of Safari don't allow for any offline
reading so I guess there's a trade off. I have beaten this drumb
enough times with no results, but I really wish Bookshare could
improve
the DAISY markup of the O'Reilly collection.
Also, someone asked if the entire collection was on Bookshare. I
don't
think so and the reason I say that is I was referred to a book on Win
2000 securety one time Nd I could *NOT* find it on Bookshare and it
had
been touted as an O'Reilley book. So I dunno for sure.

Oh, did they update things recently? I thought the only reader that
could read Bookshare books was the Victor Reader soft (Bookshare
edition). If they have completed migration to DAISY 3.0, then We only
need a decent DAISY reader for the job.

Hi all. I assume that there are windows xp users among this list's members,
and seeing that obtaining one's network details is quite important to the
successful installation of fedora, I thought I'd try to ask this question
here first. What is the command to obtain one's network details such as
host address, dhcp and subnetmask address? thanks for any help and Cheers!

On xp, go to the run dialog under start and type command. That will get you to
a prompt finally, type ipconfig. Note on linux this command is ifconfig.
Alternatively, if connected to a router, you could use your routers
configuration to find your machine's local address.

Actually it'd be better to use dhcp with fedora at this point, sinse
windows detects your IP automaticly. unless you have a router and want to
make your linux box have a statuk, ip..

Bookshare has always been Daisy 3.0. Any reader that supports 3.0 will
read the bookshare.org holdings.

I don't think their 3.0 markup would validate. I think the .xml files
are OK, but their smil is not. I think they skewed to support the
Visuaide software player. Also, I think Raman claims to support their
markup in emacspeak, but I've not gotten it to work.
When I brought this up with Jim, he was familiar with the complaint and
agrees it should be fixed. His only concern was that he wanted to get it
right when the fix is made. I can understand that. I would not want to
rewrite the markup but once.

Glad to here that this is not the case any longer.
I was basing my comments on what I was told by an O'Reiley Rep. when the
initial O'Reiley collection was being set up by bookshare.
Janina, I will admit I am wrong for the record, so that you can mark the
