12.1 Feedback is invited.

Please send me your comments on this FAQ.

I accept submissions for the FAQ in any format; All contributions, comments, and corrections are gratefully received.

Please send them to < kiesling@terracom.net>.

If you wish to refer to a question(s) in the FAQ it's most useful for me if you do so by the question heading, rather than the number, as the question numbers are generated automatically and I don't see them in the source file I edit.

I prefer comments in English to patchfiles -- I write the FAQ in a different internal format anyway, so I can't use a patchfile.

12.2 Formats in which this FAQ is available.

This document is available as an ASCII text file, an Emacs Info document, an HTML World Wide Web page, PostScript and as a USENET news posting.

The ASCII, Emacs Info, HTML and posted versions and a Lout typesetter file (from which the PostScript is produced) are generated automatically by a Perl script which takes as input a file in the Bizarre Format with No Name.

The output files linux-faq.ascii, .info and .ps and a tarfile linux-faq.source.tar.gz, containing the BFNN source and Perl script converter, are available in the docs directories of the major Linux FTP sites.

The HTML version of this FAQ is available as http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/iwj10/linux-faq/index.html and is mirrored at www.li.org and other sites.

The USENET version is posted regularly to comp.os.linux.announce, comp.os.linux.answers, comp.answers and news.answers.
