You can simply go to any sunsite mirror and grab the tarball (this is in http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/ -rw-rw-r-- 1 gferg ldp 8844582 Mar 29 09:01 Linux-HOWTOs-20070329.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 gferg ldp 7078076 Mar 29 09:01 Linux-HOWTOs-20070329.tar.bz2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 gferg ldp 29 Mar 29 09:02 Linux-HOWTOs.tar.bz2 -> Linux-HOWTOs-20070329.tar.bz2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 gferg ldp 28 Mar 29 09:02 Linux-HOWTOs.tar.gz -> Linux-HOWTOs-20070329.tar.gz >locate -i howto on my SuSE 9.3 finds me about 4000 files.) No idea why - there are only about 450 documents, a little over 3.8 million words, or just under 690000 lines (call it 11500 pages of text). You may have multiple print formats and multiple languages. Most distributions are rather lax at keeping the HOWTO package up to date - two years ago, they were being updated or re-written such that a third of the documents were less than six months old. Currently, only 20 are less than 6 months old. >There is one for clock/ntp: >http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Clock.html * Clock, The Clock Mini-HOWTO Updated: Nov 2000.
