| 170921 | 2003-08-27 06:23:00 | OK, here we go........ !! At RedHat there are a number of manuals available to download. I am looking at getting Graham L's recommended "Getting Started Guide" but, as with all the guides, there are a number of choices: PDF, RPM or HTML.Tarball. I am not sure which one I should be getting -- can all of them be read from within Windows and/or Linux? If not, which are which? |

| 170923 | 2003-08-27 07:38:00 | Wouldn't you need a PDF reader? I believe HTML will be the one that works across the board, but only if you've got a web browser. PDF you may need Adobe Reader. |

| 170924 | 2003-08-27 08:07:00 | Hi Kame, I think you will find that most linux distros have a PDF reader on the install disk so no problems with that format :) I would be more concerned whether the HTML.tarball was the option for the HTML text. If so, untarring isn't the most straight forward thing to do ;) |
