I loaded the speedtouch rpms on my system, but the DSL-HOWTO isn't there even after loading the HOWTO's.. so I'll have to search in the LDP pages. Thats not a problem :)
It does highlight a need for the install docs to be improved, ie. a cross reference glossary from win-lies-speak to linux-truth -speak.
