Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Getting started on Linux?

[camille at mandrakesoft dot com]

Hi Mickael,

As for Linux-Mandrake you simply need to install from the Cooker:

docbook-utils
docbook-dtd31-sgml
docbook-style-dsssl
openjade

And their possible dependencies.
The package docbook-utils contains the scripts you need for tranforming
to any format you wish.

Best regards, Camille.
