What you are talking about resides in the man (manual) pages. To use them
type 'man [command name]'
A text page will appear giving details about the command. The title will
say "Linux Users Guide" ... sounds familiar? Only catch is, you have to
know the name of the command in order to use the man pages. But if you are
using KDE, the help section includes a tree-like documentation of all the
man pages, dividing commands into related groups and subgroups. This is
much easier to navigate.
About LDP, you dont really have to download things from the site. The
installation CD contains a lot of documentation packages like howto,
howto-html, nag, sag, lpg among others. Just mount your CD and go to
/mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS where all the *.rpm packages reside.
Before installing its advisable to get acquainted with rpm - just do a 'man
rpm'. The most common options are
rpm -ivh
rpm -Uvh
rpm -qi
rpm -qip
rpm -e
HTH :-)
