What documentation comes with my Slackware installation?

* Moderator: kkeller@speakeasy.net (inherited from parent)

* A full installation of Slackware includes quite a bit of documentation:

* man pages (e.g., man lilo.conf)

* Linux HOWTOs, in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs

* Linux mini-HOWTOs, in /usr/doc/Linux-mini-HOWTOs

* The FSF help system (mostly for programmers) (e.g., info -f
/usr/info/find.info.gz)

* Other program documentation, in /usr/doc

* The kernel documentation, in /usr/src/linux/Documentation

* The kernel configuration help. When configuring your kernel, you
can get help on each configuration item. Not all items have help,
but many do.

* The /etc/rc.d/rc.modules startup script, which briefly describes
almost every kernel module that is listed there.
