The bit I was missing, and DV from RH kindly gave me again. The url of the yum servers, to pick one that isn't quite as busy. http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html Or for others as senile as I -) http://fedora.redhat.com/ downloads mirrors

I had been wondering when this would come out. I am just about to read over the tutorial list and see what else I can do. Can I just remind everyone that we have contributors section over on http://FedoraNEWS.ORG/contributors , so if anyone has some smaller howto's etc. that they feel should be included, or they want to release something now, rather than wait for it to be included in the docs project, just e-mail me and I will tag it up and post it.

Cheers. - -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. http://www.magicfx.co.uk http://FedoraNEWS.ORG/ghenry http://www.suretecsystems.com

My only other suggestion is to chunk the source into tiny bits, then use a plain text to xml program, and chunk the big bits via some other progam into article or somesuch.

We never had that choice. Some are so small it would not be worth getting everyone to learn it. (not hard ;-) )

> Tell me to go home Gavin... or suggest how we can help more usefully? Go home... ;-) Bigger ones like: http://www.suretecsystems.com/docs/proxy-guide-en/index.html http://www.suretecsystems.com/docs/proxy-guide-en/proxy-guide-en.xml I do, but the smaller ones, are sometimes easier to do the other way.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One last thing, Since we use your css, is there anyway of tagging our howtos in such a way as too convert the html back to docbock? They are written in html, but it is just a thought, as this would save converting the whole lot.

There is more html out there than docbook! Honest. regards DaveP

There are a couple of things out there that can do the conversion. I forget the names offhand, but they are in the archives of the LDP discuss and/or staff mailing list.
