The local guide is intended to be site-specific, to tell people how
to do and where to find various things. It usually does *not* come
with the distribution, but should be written by the local maintainer.
There is
an example of the local guide, written by L. Lamport for *his* site. I
didn't
find it in Debian's TeTeX installation but I have it on another
installation,
I could send it to you if you're interested. I also wrote a local guide
for
our site, in French. I'll give the URL if you want to have a look.
