Can anyone link these articles to the newbieDoc homepage, or tell me how to do it? Peripherals =========== Setting up a printer on a Debian GNU/Linux PC using CUPS -------------------------------------------------------- This document describes how to install and configure a printer using CUPS (the Common UNIX Printing System). The setup described in this document is known to work with Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) and CUPS version 1.1.14-3. http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/printer-cups.en/t1.html.en http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/peripherals/printer-cups.html.en Meta documents ============== Quick guide to writing newbieDoc articles using lyx --------------------------------------------------- lyx is a WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) document processor. If you can use a word processor you can use lyx. lyx is normally used to create LaTeX documents, but you can export documents to DocBook SGML format or DocBook XML format. This document describes the use of lyx to produce newbieDoc DocBook SGML. The exported SGML can be rendered into HTML using sgmltools-lite in the usual way. The instructions in this document are known to work lyx version 1.3.3 running in Debian 3.0 (Woody). http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/newbiedoc-lyx-quick-guide.en/t1.html.en http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/metadoc/newbiedoc-lyx-quick-guide.html.en Reference for writing newbieDoc articles using ---------------------------------------------- This is a collection of information for anyone using lyx to write DocBook articles for the newbieDoc project (http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net). The instructions in this document are known to work lyx version 1.3.3 running in Debian 3.0 (Woody). http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/newbiedoc-lyx-reference.en/t1.html http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/metadoc/newbiedoc-lyx-reference.html.en lyx configuration files for newbieDoc articles ---------------------------------------------- http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tarballs/newbiedoc-lyx-files_0.02.tar.gz Networking ========== Accessing CPAN with Debian GNU/Linux ------------------------------------ If you do any programming in Perl, or if you use Perl programs like SpamAssassin, you will want to download the latest Perl modules from CPAN. This article explains how to configure Debian GNU/Linux to download modules from CPAN. I have tested the instructions in this document and checked that they work with Debian 3.0 (Woody). http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/cpan.en/t1.html.en http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/networking/cpan.html.en Spam (junk email) filtering in Debian GNU/Linux ----------------------------------------------- This document describes how to deal with spam on a typical home computer with a dialup (ppp) Internet connection. It focuses on using evolution as an email client. evolution is a graphical groupware suite which includes good email client with filtering abilities. The setup described in this document is known to work with Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) versions of evolution (1.0.5-1), mail (8.1.2), exim (3.35-1), fetchmail (5.9.11-6), procmail (3.22-5) and spamassassin (2.20-1woody). http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/spam.en/t1.html.en http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/networking/spam.html.en System Management Ideas ======================= Installing from tarballs using checkinstall ------------------------------------------- One day, you will find a piece of software that you really must have. You cannot find a Debian package (.deb file) and the software is only available as a tarball (.tar.gz or .tgz). Installing from a tarball is not difficult, but it takes longer than installing a Debian package. It may also overwrite existing files, and add new ones, without your knowing about it. checkinstall is a program that supervises the compiling and installation of tarball software. It can keep backups of your existing files, and it produces a .deb file that can be used to remove and reinstall the software using standard Debian tools such as dpkg. This article has been tested successfully with checkinstall 1.5.3 in Debian 3.0 (Woody). http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/checkinstall.html.en Thanks, Chris. -- Chris Lale <chrislale AT untrammelled DOT co DOT uk> --------------------------------------------------------------- Virus scanned by AMaVis (Debian Linux) to protect Windows users -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
