Overview
This chapter introduces various forms of help provided by the Solaris environment. We will cover graphical help available with the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). CDE help includes many options such as the Help Manager and Front Panel help. AnswerBook2, which is an online version of the Solaris manuals, is accessible through CDE. We will also work with command line help known as manual or "man" pages. These provide character-based help with UNIX commands and utilities. This chapter will review some basic troubleshooting techniques and also provide a DOS to UNIX cross-reference table for those who have a background in DOS.
