6. The documentation
I recommend these good readings in case you can't figure out how to solve a problem. I've read them. You should too if you're curious or conscientious.
Please, do not forget to consider the LDP mirrors
, listed at:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/mirrors.html
Most HOWTOs are translated in many languages
. Just go to the bottom of a mirror page and follow the
translations/
link.
If you want to use Linux on a laptop, read the latest Linux-Mobile-Guide
, by Werner Heuser, located at:

.
If you haven't installed any distribution yet, carefully read the Installation-HOWTO
, by Eric S. Raymond, located at:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO/
. And make more coffee :-)
If you need information about your cdrom drive, read the CDROM-HOWTO

If you need to compile a new kernel on the
source
box, read the Kernel-HOWTO

If you plan to make your Null-Modem cable yourself, a good reading is the file PLIP.txt
, by Donald Becker, located at:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt
on your
source
linux computer, Luke. Alternatively, read my notes in section "Building your own cable".
