Why do the URLs of the HOWTO pages keep disappearing/changing?

0

This HOWTO is written in SGML and processed to make the html pages. The processing in docbook automatically makes the page names (and all the links between them), which change as the document evolves. So linking to a page like: http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/howtos/netbook_new/x196.htm will not generally work, since x196.htm may not be there next time, or perhaps worse will be a link to an old, perhaps erroneous, page. Set your bookmarks to http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/howtos/netbook_new/index.htm and hit “refresh” frequently and you’ll be o.k.
