Hello,

I proudly annonce the availability of the second public version of the
                             HP-HOWTO

This document may be read by everyone willing to obtain informations
on Linux and HP products. The first part is a general presentation
and gives informations linked to Linux and Free Software more generally.
The third chapter gives for every reference of HP product its support
under Linux.
 
It was realized in SGML/DocBook to allow the automatic creation of various
formats, among them :
 
HTML : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-FR
RTF : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-FR.rtf
PS : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-FR.ps
PDF : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-FR.pdf
TXT : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-FR.txt

YES ! for the moment it's only a french document. 
The next version, sponsored by HP, will be translated in english too.
BTW, you may already take a look at the paragraph on Intel based machines
to have an idea of what is in the document.

For those of you having a distribution supporting RPM packages,
you may install the PS, PDF, TXT, RTF and HTML versions directly under
/usr/doc by using the following package :

RPM : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-FR-0.87-1.noarch.rpm

For those reading a little french (some parts are not language dependent
too much), don't hesitate to give comments on errors, missing points or
things to add. I surely have a lot to do in order to produce the 1.0 
version :-)

Happy reading,
Bruno.

PS: Those wanting to help concerning my poor use of SGML are also welcome :-)
