That's true - the documents are there... The problem I have now is that my latex doesn't want to build me a .dvi file... It starts complaining about undefined formats and other stuff... Note: I *do have* the linuxdoc.sty!

If there's anyone out there, who successfully ran latex on the tex version of the Handbook, could you please upload the .ps or .dvi somwhere where people can get it.

Thanks in advance!
