Hello,

I just got done reading some old mail and have not seen an anwser yet so here
goes.  This is the system I use to print the handbook.


1. Install LaTeX 2e (With TeX of course)
2. Install dvips
3. Copy linuxdoc.sty from /usr/share/sgml/FreeBSD/lib to 
   your texmf/tex directory.
4. Put a FORMATS= latex in the handbook makefile.
5. Do a make
6. Do 'latex handbook.latex' 3 times in a row (You may want to move the latex
   file to another directory due to the excess files generated.
7. Do a dvips -o handbook.ps handbook.dvi
8. Print the ps file.

Thats all there is to it!!!

Note: You do not want to print the handbook out using groff.  At last check
things like TOC and page numbers will be missing...:(
