MMMMMMM!!!!
I was there... tried Qt programming... And this F**K again sent me to pay for it!
Ok. Tell me how to download separate htmls all "at once"? I don't know
what is p2p or smth like this... I'm holy fool, dummy and f***er. I don't
know how to configure Net in Linux... yet. Now I'm in Win2K in Opera7.
Just type what to type to this Opera to download all.
I use SLOW, VERY SLOW F**KING dial-up connection. I wait fo 10 minutes
while it connects/disconnects. It disconnects every 5 minutes. It costs
15 rubles per hour (~0.5$ per hour). Not much??? But pay for the worst
connection.
How? HOW TO DOWNLOAD ALL?
AAHH! Help the f**ker! please... ((((

Just go to
http://www.tldp.org/
Choose whatever book you like and save it. And, please be cautious with using hard language, some people may be offended!

BTW, slackMeUp, how goes your project with DVD?

Well there is a lot of work to be done.. . so far I have a build environment but there is a lot of spec work to still be done.

I'm thinking of starting a website for the project... but like I said... it's all spec work for now.

kornerr,

Linux does not have to be so hard... you can always try other distros that do most of the work for you.

Give Mandrake or SuSE a shot.

Mans! I was at www.tldp.org earlier. I've downloaded smth. I've not read it yet. But I think it's too small.
Sorry for foal (hard) words, but this dial-up connection... BE DAMNED IT!
But thanks anyway.

Does anybody here listen to "The dillinger escape plan", or "Tool", or "Deftones", or "Korn", or "Slipknot"...?
Good-bye.

kornerr - you are an angry person. The best place, as has been pointed out before, to get free books is the internet. If someone has to hire and author, get it printed, get it published, they will have to pay for it. Therefore, so will you.

Good one on laying off the language. I am moving this to General as it's neither a Slackware nor a Linux problem.

By the way, in my sig block is a link to RUTE. That is a free, huge book.

Thanks for the link.. this seems interesting, but is based off Gentoo.

So far, the general idea is to use DSL's hardware detection for the x server config (it seems to work across the board with almost all the hardware I've used it on). . . and SLAX as an example for the main system. After that I have to decide on an interface, tool kit, and the long task of making everything mimic what the current Slackware installer does. So like I said, it will take time.. but I'll keep you posted.

Well, don't get me wrong... I'm not going to base the DVD off SLAX. I'm going create the DVD fallowing the way SLAX was created as a guide... my personal goal is to do most of the work myself and not just build on top of another project. Besides, while both SLAX and gNOX are great, they are desktop liveCDs... which would be a big overhead to work with at first.

I think the thread has degenerated a bit, but that just means the thread brings up a lot of thought! That's always good.

If you're looking for free Linux documentation, you can look at http://www.seritt.org/pub/rute/ (I host it on my site simply because I'm beginning to find it to be more and more difficult to find as time goes on). In addition to being one of the best Linux docs around, it's also a great Computer Science 101 book as well! (it's important to be able to view your computer as a <gasp> computer if you want to get the most out of Linux).

If you'd like to save it to your own hard drive, you can download it from http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.tar.bz2. Also, if you'd like a PDF so that you can print it out like a normal book, you can get that at http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/rute.pdf.bz2.

Just remember there are very simple copying rules, so it would be good to read those before doing any mass copyings. Nonetheless, it's license is about the fairest I've seen for professional documentation of any kind.

As to another part of other comments and questions on this thread: since it's a free operating system, why isn't the documentation free? The quick answer... documentation is generally made by a select group of people if not just one. Since it is time consuming (plus you do want to get the documenation out on time-- after all, technology advances move faster than say an update to the English Language or Algebra. A book on Redhat 7 or 6.2 these days is worth considerably less than a current Redhat or Fedora release documentation.), authors generally need to be paid in advance for their time. This won't happen if Operating System books are given away for free. Some exceptions would be technology subjects that change little over time like computer language books. Thus, it's possible to find more free books on things like C/C++, Java, Perl and other mature languages. Fortunately Open Source peer-reviewed software has no limitations like this.
