Supplementary Documentation
This chapter describes some of the supplementary documentation that
is provided on the Tru64 UNIXOperating System CD–ROM, Associated
Products CD–ROMs Volumes 1 and 2, and Compaq’s Web site. The Printed
and Online Documentation sections of the previous chapters describe the
supplementary documentation provided on the Documentation CD–ROM.
Supplementary documentation is provided only on line and comes
from various sources. Some of this material, including all of the Best
Practice documentation, is produced by Compaq writers working closely
with Tru64 UNIX developers. Other documentation is produced by
UNIX professionals both within Compaq and outside the corporation.
Supplementary documentation tends to be less formal in structure than the
core documentation.
Examples of supplementary documentation include installation guides and
release notes for components such as the Multimedia Services for Tru64
UNIX run-time environment and DECevent, QuickSpecs, nd lists of fixes
made to earlier versions of the operating system.
This Documentation Overview does not list all of the supplementary
documentation included on the CD–ROMs and the Web, but it does provide
some guidance in the following sections.
5.1 Web-Based Best Practices Documentation
A Best Practices document offers a recommended procedure for performing
a task, rather than presenting all of the options available. This type of
documentation walks you step-by-step through the process.
The recommended procedure might depend on your configuration
environment. For example, the Best Practice for performing a particular
task on a Web server might differ from the one for performing the same
task on a file server. The Best Practice documentation cannot meet the
needs of all users, but it is aimed at the most common tasks and system
configurations in order to meet the demands of most users.
The Best Practices documentation resides only on the Web at the following
site:
