I think they would still include it, but it will be available online. If you installed the documentation, spend some time browsing the HOWTOs. (If you didn't, do it :D) There are two very good resources online: "The Linux Cookbook", and "RUTE". Rute is also available as a book (which has a CD with the HTML version as well). You could also try some of the links I gave in FAQ80 here. ;-)For any problems with hardware, "make_and_model_of_HW linux" to google will almost always get you the answer, or confirmation that it is a problem. Ask here. |
