Re: DOCBOOK: customized headers and footers

Wow, someone's still running MCC? that was a nice compact
distribution, from the days before the concept of "packaging" or
"clean upgrade" :-) The machine I'm sending this from runs
debian/stable 2.1, but it started as a "side-grade" from MCC -> Debian
0.96 (which was old at the time, but still a.out) and then an
immediate clean-upgrade to debian 1.x (1.2 maybe?) ELF...

The debian "task-sgml" metapackage has

Depends: docbook, docbook-doc, sp, jade, docbook-stylesheets,
docbook-stylesheets-doc, jadetex, sgml-data, debiandoc-sgml,
sgmltools-2, psgml | xemacs20 | xemacs21, docbook-xml,
cygnus-stylesheets, docbook2man, docbook2texi, docbook-to-man-ans

so getting the sources to most of those (from ftp.debian.org) and just
building them will probably do ok.  You also need to grab sgml-base
because it has install-sgmlcatalog, which makes it *easy* to pop in
new DTD's...  which is all that *really* matters; while DocBook is
definitely the cadillac of Software Documentation DTD's, if you want
to keep using LinuxDoc that's fine with us :-)
