  Description     : The Debian FAQ

 In this package you will find the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ, which gives
 frequently asked questions (with their answers!) about the Debian
 distribution Debian GNU/Linux and others) and about the Debian project.
 You'll find out that some answers assume some knowledge of Unix-like
 operating systems.  We'll try to assume as little prior knowledge as
 possible: answers to general beginners questions will be kept simple.

 system, without using the network, install this package.


Hi,

Up to 3.1.5, the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ was shipped with the doc-debian
package.  After some discussion on debian-doc list (
http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2008/03/threads.html#00065 ), work
started on splitting the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ from doc-debian, and
shipping it in a package of its own.  The debian-faq source package will
create a debian-faq binary package, holding the FAQ in English, as well
as debian-faq-de, debian-faq-fr, debian-faq-it, and debian-faq-zh-cn,
holding translations previously not shipped in packages.

Current maintainer of the FAQ is Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña.

Bye,

Joost
