If anyone can help me installing "docbook xml dtd" I would appreciate hearing from you. The docbook package is required by gnome 2.0.6 and this Slackware system apparently does not have it installed. The gnome mailing list (actually the "garnome" mailing list) is less than helpful with this problem. I am advised to read the archives and switch to a reasonable distribution, which is evidently debian. I have the docbook-xml-4.2.zip package, but it comes with absolutely no clue as to where to put it or how to install it, and the gnome installation script expects it to be installed before it can continue. If any Slackware users out there have installed gnome 2.0.X I would sure like to hear from you, or anyone who knows about docbook. Write privately if you wish.
