-<P>
-<A NAME="quickref"></A>
-</P>
-<P>We are endeavouring to provide links here to every major class of
-information about Samba or things related to Samba. We cannot list every
-document, but we are aiming for all documents to be at most two
-referrals from those listed here. This needs constant maintaining, so
-please send the author your feedback.</P>

-</P>
-<P>You know you should read the documentation but can't wait to start? What
-you need to do then is follow the instructions in the following
-documents in the order given. This should be enough to get a fairly
-simple site going quickly. If you have any problems, refer back to this
-meta-FAQ and follow the links to find more reading material.</P>

-<A NAME="ImpGet"></A>
-</P>
-<DT><B>Getting Samba:</B><DD><P>The fastest way to get Samba
-going is and install it is to have an operating system for which the
-Samba team has put together an installation package. To see if your OS
-is included have a look at the directory
-/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor" on your nearest
-<A HREF="../MIRRORS">mirror site</A>. If it is included follow the
-installation instructions in the README file there and then do some
-<A HREF="#ImpTest">basic testing</A>. If you are not so fortunate, follow the normal
-<A HREF="Samba-meta-FAQ-2.html#WhereFrom">download instructions</A> and then continue with
-<A HREF="#ImpInst">building and installing Samba</A>.</P>
-<P>
-<A NAME="ImpInst"></A>
-</P>
-<DT><B>Building and Installing Samba:</B><DD><P>At the moment
-there are two kinds of Samba server installs besides the prepackaged
-binaries mentioned in the previous step. You need to decide if you have a
-<A HREF="../UNIX_INSTALL.txt">Unix or close relative</A> or
-<A HREF="Samba-Server-FAQ.html#PortInfo">other supported operating system</A>.</P>
-<P>
-<A NAME="ImpTest"></A>
-</P>
-<DT><B>Basic Testing:</B><DD><P>Try to connect using the
-supplied smbclient command-line program. You need to know the IP
-hostname of your server. A service name must be defined in smb.conf, as
-given in the examples (under many operating systems if there is a
-<F>homes</F> service you can just use a valid username.) Then type
-<CODE>smbclient \\hostname\servicename</CODE>
-Under most Unixes you will need to put the parameters within quotation
-marks. If this works, try connecting from one of the SMB clients you
-were planning to use with Samba.</P>
-<P>
-<A NAME="ImpDebug"></A>
-</P>
-<DT><B>Debug sequence:</B><DD><P>If you think you have completed the
-previous step and things aren't working properly work through
-<A HREF="../DIAGNOSIS.txt">the diagnosis recipe.</A></P>
-<P>
-<A NAME="ImpExp"></A>
-</P>
-<DT><B>Exporting files to SMB clients:</B><DD><P>You should read the manual pages
-for smb.conf, but here is a
-<A HREF="Samba-Server-FAQ.html#Exporting">quick answer guide.</A></P>
-<P>
-<A NAME="ImpControl"></A>
-</P>
-<DT><B>Controlling user access:</B><DD><P>the quickest and dirtiest way of sharing
-resources is to use
-<A HREF="Samba-meta-FAQ-4.html#ShareModeSecurity">share level security.</A> If you want to spend more time and have a proper username
-and password database you must read the paragraph on
-<A HREF="Samba-meta-FAQ-4.html#DomainModeSecurity">domain mode security.</A> If you want
-encryption (eg you are using Windows NT clients) follow the
-<A HREF="Samba-Server-FAQ.html#SMBEncryptionSteps">SMB encryption instructions.</A></P>
-<P>
-<A NAME="ImpBrowse"></A>
-</P>
-<DT><B>Browsing:</B><DD><P>if you are happy to type in "\\samba-server\sharename"
-at the client end then do not read any further. Otherwise you need to
-understand the
-browsing terminology</A>
-and read
-<A HREF="Samba-Server-FAQ.html#NameBrowsing">Samba-Server-FAQ.html#NameBrowsing</A>. </P>
-<P>
-<A NAME="ImpPrint"></A>

-<A HREF="Samba-Server-FAQ.html#Printing">printing quick answer guide.</A></P>

-</P>
-<P>If you have got everything working to this point, you can expect Samba
-to be stable and secure: these are its greatest strengths. However Samba
-has a great deal to offer and to go further you must do some more
-reading. Speed and security optimisations, printer accounting, network
-logons, roving profiles, browsing across multiple subnets and so on are
-all covered either in this document or in those it refers to.</P>
