|
|
I think this counts as a not-GUI question...
I'm trying to print the most recent version of the entire Gentoo installation guide, and I don't see an easy way to do it like you used to... It's obvious how to print it section by section, but I'd rather not do it that way if possible. <Ctrl>-P once and give me the entire thing, please.
Am I missing something? |

i had this same problem when attempting to print the manual about two weeks ago. I danced around the issue for a week, but could not find a solution. Unfortunately you may have to just print it section by section _________________ ...it must have been very demanding having to learn how to use Microsoft Office, right up there with other lofty challenges like learning how to zip your fly without getting your dick caught. |

You do have to print it one section at a time. There is a link at the top of each section that will put it in a more "printer friendly" display so it's easier to read. _________________ Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it. |

One way, if you are on a Windows box is to use Acrobat to save the docs from the first page of the installation manual to a pdf document (and tell Acrobat to fetch link docs) then print the whole thing from Acrobat.
But from the site, no ... |

On the installation cd, there is already a pdf document of the handbook in /docs |

As simulacrum mentioned there is a way to print the entire handbook easily. An overview on the available formats can be found at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook which also includes the FAQ on the Gentoo Handbook. |
