Very Newbie Installation Guide?


Hello All,

I am brand new to this list and if this question has been asked a millions
times I'm sorry, but...

Could someone point me to a very newbie installation guide for docbooks
that will explain what .dtd, .ent, .gml, .whatever files are so that I can
get through what seems to me to be a mess of files and just start using
docbooks faster?

I have looked at many different guides including the one that was made
into a book, I have gotten confused because some say that .ent should be
changed to .gml and on top of that I have .ent files located all over
after installing a number of packages, docbook-3.1-3.src.rpm,
stylesheets-1.54.13rh-5mlx.noarch.rpm, openjade-1.3.1-4 -whatever I read
were the correct packages. It's a mess.

So I would like to start over. I am installing docbooks on a Redhat 7.3
Linux box so that I can document a few ongoing projects. I believe I will
be using the sgml.

Has anyone done this? Is there a good guide just for this?

Thanks so much,
Jennifer
