For the other you need docbook-utils installed. at least under fedora, that's not all -- you'll need the docbook-utils-pdf package as well: $ rpm -ql docbook-utils-pdf /usr/bin/db2dvi /usr/bin/db2pdf /usr/bin/db2ps /usr/bin/docbook2dvi /usr/bin/docbook2pdf /usr/bin/docbook2ps /usr/share/man/man1/db2pdf.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/docbook2dvi.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/docbook2pdf.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/docbook2ps.1.gz $ not sure what the situation is under other distros. also, the last time i looked, most output formats can now be generated with no reference to SGML or DSSSL or jade, but i'd have to go back and verify that. (pdf output can be generated using fop.) if no one else wants to handle this, i can start putting together patches to bring that directory up to date as long as i can do it in bite-size pieces. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
