Zorin 9 Manual - Courtesy of Forum Member

Dear Forum Members,

My attempts to create a manual have become stale, especially with regard to Zorin 6 in light of the glibc security issue around the GNU/Linux Kernel that has apparently been an issue since 2000! So my Zorin 6 Manual project is shelved.

The good news is that GEWB has done a great job of putting an interactive pdf together (I bow to his expertise!). I have attempted to modify it in respect of image sizing and font formatting but I feel this could readily be done by the end user.

First and foremost, apologies for non-English readers and speakers - perhaps in your own time you could provide the much needed translations.

This is of course an unofficial manual and therefore E & OE prevails - Errors and Ommissions Excepted.

[EDITED 23.08.2015 - the link is no longer to a zip file but the actual pdf file in all its glory! :D ]

Download from this link:

Please notify me after 5 days of this post if you cannot access the file - I am still finding my way around Box!

:D

Hi Swarfendor437,

I have succesfully downloaded the two files: ZOS9-All.7z.001 and 002
Now my question is how i schould make these two files to a readable PDF format?

Hi,

right click the files and then "Extract here", then double click them and they should open with "Evince" (PDF viewer). :D

I however must point out that file 2 won't open for me!. :(

OK peeps, the link has been updated in that it is now just a .pdf file - the link address remains the same.

Enjoy.

Oh and a Gazillion blue jewels to GEWB!!! :D

OK, just been checking everything ok - what you need to do is download the folder, NOT the file as attemptng to download the file just does not work - you have been advised! ;) :D
