Re: books on debian of a beginner nature?

[Karen Lewellen <klewellen@shellworld.net>]

ahem,
I think I said, but it may have been lost in the mayhem of ideas.
1. I seek a single book, one that can either be read in the standard 
fashion, it has pages, or  b, exists as a single file that can be read 
entirely off line...think of say a word processor like wordperfect, or a 
plain text reader.
as I have no debian system at all yet, and want this information  both 
before that install takes place now, and available in a format that need 
not require an installation, I think the information below does not fit my 
request.
