Welcome to the Slackware F Disk series. The F disk series is a (hopefully) handy compilation of Linux specific and other related FAQ's. The collection currently contains: - the Linux HOWTO's, - the Linux FAQ - various languages/utilities/compilers, including C, g++, libg++, Fortran, Objective-C, TCL, Lisp, Perl, and Postscript - the unix faq from Comp.unix.questions - various Xwindows faq's Granted, one can get these from rtfm.mit.edu (except for the HOWTO's, which can be retrieved from sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu), but not everyone has net access when they need the faq's. If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, you can send email to me at jnelson@badlands.nodak.edu. I check in there at least once a day. Question #1: How to I read all these *.gz files? Answer: With "zless", like this: zless SLACKWARE_MINI_FAQ.gz Including the ".gz" at the end is optional with zless.
