*ALL HOWTOs* are available in (at the very least) these 3 formats:
text, html, PDF - and they are available in gzip'ed tar packages
that seperate the mini from the 'full'.
We can make the content available for the various distributions in
any form(s) they desire - all we need is to hear a request...
I think Mr Curley's idea of a lead individual from the LDP chosen
to work with the various distribution providers is an excellent one.
