Documentation Resources
If you have the Official Red Hat Linux boxed set, remember to take a look
through the Red Hat Linux Documentation CD. All of the Official Red Hat Linux manuals
are on this CD. Individual downloads of our documentation in HTML, RPM,
PDF, and compressed tarball format
(.tar.gz) are also available at http://www.redhat.com/docs/. Once
you have logged in to your user account, inserting the Documentation CD
in your CD-ROM drive should automatically start the
Package Management Tool and allow you to install any of
the Official Red Hat Linux documentation. Follow the instructions and choose the
documentation you would like to install.
After you have installed the documentation packages you want, you
can access them at any time by clicking => .
If you have downloaded individual documentation RPM packages from
the Red Hat website at http://www.redhat.com/docs, you
can install these manuals from a shell prompt. Open a shell prompt, and
type the following at the command line:
Press [Enter]. You will be asked for your root
password. Enter the password at the prompt and press
[Enter]. You are now logged in as root. To install all
four manuals, change to the directory that contains the RPM files and
type the following:
Press [Enter].
To install only certain manuals, replace
rhl-*.rpm with the full file name of the manual
that you want to install. For example, the file name for the
Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide will look something like
rhl-gsg-en-8.0.noarch.rpm, so you would type the
following to install the Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide on your
computer:
rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/rhl-gsg-en-8.0.noarch.rpm |
Press [Enter]. Type exit at
the command line and press [Enter]. This takes you
out of root and back to your user account.
Now go to =>
and select the manual you want to
read.
