John Fieber has posted an html version broken into chapters (so there aren't too many of them--20 some, I think) at http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber/hb1/BOOK-0001.html and I got a couple of chapters I wanted--kernel configuration and printing--and printed them from Netscape, and they look great. This preserves the formatting. I wish he's combine some of the shorter chapters so there are only 5 or 6 blocks to download and print....and thus a minimum of "next" and "previous" garbage. Oh well.
