RE: DOCBOOK: 400 setup and configs later...

["Buss, Jason A" <jabuss at cessna dot textron dot com>]

I tried to install FreeBSD from a CD I got with a book about 6 months ago
(PC Repair and Upgrade Bible), and I couldn't get the thing to ever install
correctly.  I don't know if one of the dependent packages was missing from
the CD, but the majority of the things that should have installed from the
CD (including emacs and all the text processing tools) wouldn't work
correctly, so I gave up and installed Corel Linux.  It doesn't come will ALL
the tools, but it's pretty easy to get going and install things once you
have it installed.

Just my pennies...

I  then switched  to  FreeBSD  (which is  a  logic  way after  Slackware
IMHO  ;)  and I  was  very  impressed  by  the ports  collection,  which
automagically fetches,  compiles and installs your  packages, along with
their dependencies.

Example: DocBook

* Tell FreeBSD to install the DocBook DTD:
cd /usr/ports/textproc/docbook/
make install

* Tell FreeBSD to install DocBook's DSSSL stylesheets
cd /usr/ports/textproc/dsssl-docbook-modular/
make install

* Tell FreeBSD to install Jade
cd /usr/ports/textproc/jade/
make install

* Tell FreeBSD to install JadeTex (for PDF output)
cd /usr/ports/print/jadetex/
make install

Of  course, TeTeX  is a  dependency of  jadetex, and  will therefore  be
installed automatically if it is missing.

That's all!
