You have several frontend tools available (mostly docbook-utils and sgml2x), which should pull in all the necessary tools. Use one of the interactive package-selection tools (aptitude, dselect, synaptic ...), or "apt-cache show" to check for optional packages. When using DSSSL stylesheets, you will have a choice for the processor: you should prefer "openjade1.3" to "jade" and "openjade" packages. "apt-cache search docbook" will list all docbook-related packages. > - what envars should I set and what should they contain? Normally you don't have to mess with them, the packages are built so that tools work out of the box. > - what are the stylesheets and how do I get the tools to find them? > Thanx, docbook-dsssl and docbook-xsl are the standard alternatives. There is an hopefully nice customisation of (print version of) docbook-dsssl in the alcovebook-sgml package, which is taken as the prefered one if you install alcovebook-sgml and sgml2x, and process your document with eg. "docbook-2-pdf mydoc.xml".
