[docbook-apps] Can't parse XML

[Zeeshan Ali <zeelists at yahoo dot com>]

Hello everyone,
   I am quite new to docbook and so far I've only been
able to successfully use two docbook tools: nsgmls and
docbook2X. I've no trouble with SGML docs but I
haven't been able to successfully parse a singe XML
doc. The reason being that I am to specify the system
identifiers of the DTD to use and I unable to do that.
If i specify my document type declaration like this:

<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML
V4.2//EN"
			
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";
>

  I get this error from the parser (nsgmls -sv OR
docbook2html):
Certainity.xml:4:0:E: could not get
"/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" from
"www.oasis-open.org" (reason given was "Bad Request")

  I am not behind a firewall and the DTD doc. is
accessible through a web-browser. I am using Fedora
Core 1. Please help me with this. 

  BTW, is there any doc. that gives some kind of a
'Crash Course' on the latest docbook tools/apps?
