I'm using Debian 2.2 potato to process various documents up to 600
pages long. My toolchain is DSSSL-based with openjade and jadetex. I'm
using jadetex 2.20 right now because it gives me the fewest problems.
I initially used the toolchain from the task-sgml package. It
worked fine but I didn't like the PDF output it produced. So I installed
everything as outlined in the DocBook-Install mini-HOWTO. I later added
the DocBook 4.1.2 XML DTD.
Debian's stable task-sgml package:

BTW: Looking at the archives of this list is a good place to go
for help. Don't be afraid post specific questions to this list either.
Hopefully, we can get you up and running.
