docs (Samba Documentation):
--------------------------------------
- Note in particular two files - INSTALL.txt and DIAGNOSIS.txt
- You should also pay close attention to all the files with a
- .txt extension.
- Most problems can be solved by reference to the two files mentioned.
+ The Samba documentation for 1.9.17 has had some of its content
+ updated and a new structure has been put in place. However, since
+ this is all rather new the documentation format of previous
+ versions will remain in place.
+
+ Note in particular two files - <your OS>_INSTALL.txt and DIAGNOSIS.txt
+ There is the potential for there to be many *INSTALL.txt files, one
+ for each OS that Samba supports. However we are moving all this into
+ the new structure. For now, most people will be using UNIX_INSTALL.txt.
+
+ You pay close attention to all the files with a
+ .txt extension. Most problems can be solved by reference to the
+ two files mentioned.
+
+ The new documentation can be accessed starting from Samba-meta-FAQ.html,
+ in the docs/faq directory. This is incomplete, but to quote from the
+ abstract, it:
+
+ "contains overview information for the Samba suite of programs,
+ a quick-start guide, and pointers to all other Samba documentation.
+ Other FAQs exist for specific client and server issues, and HOWTO
+ documents for more extended topics to do with Samba software."
