I am extremely grateful to the [email protected] list members for their support, especially to USM Bish.
The members of the [email protected] list have been very helpful too, specially in the initial phase of the howto-writing. I am also extremely grateful to Phil Richard Burchill, Rajesh Fowkar, KV Pham and Andrew Kar (akar) for their valuable suggestions.
The sgml-stuff has been done with the help of the template written by Stein Gjoen, Gregory Leblanc and Greg Ferguson. I am also indebted to Greg Ferguson for cleaning up the mess i had made with Docbook.
