Re: defeated @ chunk-common.xsl again

[Martin Tee <aovb94 dsl pipex com>]

Some good instructions on docbook can be found at 
http://www.geocities.com/tush/lfs/docbook.txt .

As you can see it was written specifically for LFS (sorry Jeff) but it 
might help with other distros. I used it and managed to install 
garnome-0.13.1 on my LFS system.

Cheers,
Martin
