Installation Guides
Online Installation Guides as well as those on the Installation CDs
Slackware Linux Essentials:The Official Guide To Slackware Linux http://slackware.com/book/
On CD #3 (Source 1) there is an html version of that same guide in the slackware-book directory.
Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For Intel x86 http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386
On CD #1 is a copy of the install guide(install/doc/index.html).
Mandrake - Discovery or Starter include Installation http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/fdoc.php3
On CD #1 there is a short but sufficient installation guide (install.htm). It doesn’t give you as much information as you find on the above online guides.
Suse - There seems to be no installation guide on the CD/DVD (If there is one, please point me to it St.Waidele@LinuxBasics.org). There is, however an excellent printed handbook that has a chapter on installation with screenshots and everything. The GUI-installer also has help-texts to every step.
At the following Web site are links to both the Suse Linux 9.2 User Guide (PDF) and Suse Linux 9.2 Administration Guide (PDF).

Welcome to LinuxBasics.org - The online community that helps people to get Linux installed and running.
During this tour, we will guide you through our website, which has many facets which wait to be explored
The biggest project we are running is our Linux course, based on the LBook.
The book is stored in wiki-format, which enables us to update and correct it as we go.
Discussion for the course is on our Forum
Our mailing-list is for any Linux-related question.
The questions and answers from the list are stored in the list's archives in order to help others with the same problems.
Every weekend, we meet to chat in IRC. These meetings are NOT mandatory, but are a nice chance to get to know each other better.
IRC is also a great tool to solve many problems, since it is very quick and easy to ask for more details if you need them.
The tutorials are one of the oldest sections on the LBo-website.
Here you find explanations on how to do specific tasks in Linux. Many of the tutorials were created after a certain problem
has been discussed (and usually solved :) on the mailing-list.
The tutorials are categorized in
In the links section, you find outbound links to other valuable resources.
One of our later additions to the site. We maintain a mirror of the Linux Documentation Project. This is our contribution to the "home of the HOWTOs"
Another later addition is the LBlog which focuses on how to do stuff on the Linux Desktop. It begins with the basics on installing Ubuntu.
Using the integrated site-search, you can search the tutorials, the LBook and all other wiki-pages
Simply type the search term into the box in the upper-right corner of our webpages
As a community, we depend on your feedback and collaboration. So, if you have something to share with others, please contact us. If you have a suggestion for a topic you would like to see covered here, please add it on the Wishlist.
There are many ways to contribute: You can answer questions on the mailing-list, you can write a complete tutorial or just a step-by-step documentation on how you completed a specific task using linux. Ask questions if the information on this site is not clear, tell us if we got something wrong, spell-check our writings, whatever.
We are looking forward to meeting you at LinuxBasics.org
