This file documents dselect for first-time users, and is intended to help in getting Debian installed successfully. It makes no attempt to explain everything, so when you first meet dselect, work through the help screens.

This User's Guide is nothing but a reformatted Progeny User's Guide. Contents are adjusted for the standard Debian system.

Over 300 pages with a good tutorial to start using the Debian system from GUI desktop and shell command line.

This manual is for a new Linux user, to help such a user get acquainted with Linux once they have installed it, or for a new Linux user on a system which someone else is administering.

A manual, oriented towards the end-user.

This manual provides at least an overview of everything a user should know about their Debian GNU/Linux system (i.e. setting up X, how to configure network, accessing floppy disks, etc.). It is intended to bridge the gap between the Debian Tutorial and the detailed manual and info pages supplied with each package.

It is also intended to give some idea of how to combine commands, on the general Unix principle, that there is always more than one way to do it.

This document is mentioned in the introduction of the Policy manual. It covers all system administration aspects of a Debian system.

This manual covers all network administration aspects of a Debian system.

A hands-on reference guide to the Debian GNU/Linux system that shows, in over 1,500 recipes, how to use it for everyday activities — from working with text, images, and sound to productivity and networking issues. Like the software the book describes, the book is copylefted and its source data is available.

This manual tries to be a quick but complete source of information about the APT system and its features. It contains much information about the main uses of APT and many examples.

Introduction on how to create a .deb, using debmake.

Helps new developers to create a package for the Debian GNU/Linux system.

This manual describes the technical aspects of creating Debian binary and source packages. It also documents the interface between dselect and its access method scripts. It does not deal with the Debian Project policy requirements, and it assumes familiarity with dpkg's functions from the system administrator's perspective.

This document is intended as a starting point to explain how software producers can integrate their products with Debian, what different situations can arise depending on the license of the products and the choices of the producers, and what possibilities there are. It does not explain how to create packages, but it links to documents which do exactly that.

You should read this if you are not familiar with the big picture of creating and distributing Debian packages, and optionally with adding them to the Debian distribution.

This document describes basic idea and howto of l10n (localization), i18n (internationalization), and m17n (multilingualization) for programmers and package maintainers.

The aim of this document is to make more packages support i18n and to make Debian a more internationalized distribution. Contributions from all over the world will be welcome, because the original author is Japanese-speaker and this document would be on Japanization if there were no contributions.

This HOWTO contains practical information about the use of SGML and XML on a Debian operating system.

Subpolicy for Debian packages that provide and/or make use of XML or SGML resources.

Documentation for the debiandoc-sgml system, including best practices and hints for maintainers. Future versions should includes tips for easier maintenance and building of documentation in Debian packages, guidelines for organizing translation of documentation, and other helpful information. See also bug #43718.

This document explains how Debian repositories work, how to create them, and how to add them to the sources.list correctly.
