Hello, newbie inbound

Hello everyone:

I'm trying to create Slides with Docbook, I even bought the O'reilly book!

I use Debian, and installed the package docbook-slides, but when I try to create a PDF with : 

sgmltools -bpdf slides.sgml


Of a SGML Like this One:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE slides PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Slides XML V3.0b1//EN"
                 "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/slides/3.0b1/slides.dtd">
<slides>
<slidesinfo>
  <title>Supporting Localized Generated Text</title>
  <titleabbrev>Generated Text</titleabbrev>
  <author><firstname>Norman</firstname><surname>Walsh</surname></author>
  <pubdate>Sunday, 08 Apr 2001</pubdate>
  <confgroup>
    <conftitle>XSLTUK-01</conftitle>
    <confdates>08 Apr - 09 Apr 2001</confdates>
    <conftitle role="address">Keble College, Oxford, UK</conftitle>
    <confnum>1</confnum>
  </confgroup>
  <releaseinfo role="version">Version TEST</releaseinfo>

             <holder>Sun Microsystems, Inc.</holder></copyright>
</slidesinfo>
<foil><title>Foil Title</title>
<para>Foil content</para>
</foil>
</slides>


I get those errors, I will only paste 10, but there are many more:

.....

Is anyone able to help me? I want to convince teachers in my university to use docbook, I didn't have such problems with docbook when creating Book, and articles

Thanks a lot for your help.
