There are several reasons for this 1) Not all documents are reliable or updated as much as others. We are doing what we can at tldp.org to review these documents and contact these authors to get the document updated or pushed out into the unmaintained tree. 2) Some of these documents need to get updated very frequently 3)Redhat may not want the liability for any incorrect information present in these docs. 4) Many of them are completely irrelevant to Redhat/Fedora Linux I suggest you take a look at tldp.org. There are documents available in multiple formats include single/multipage html for online view and downloads, pdf and text too. regards Rahul Sundaram __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
