If AnswerBook2 is installed on your
system or network server, you will see an icon on the Help subpanel
that you can use for help. The AnswerBook2
system enables you to view an online version of the printed manuals
including graphics. There are several collections of online books that
contain a tremendous amount of information including:
- Solaris 8 System Administrator
Collection
- Solaris 8 User Collection
- Solaris 8 Software Developer
Collection
As with the Help Viewer, there are
hyperlinks that can be used to skip to the relevant pages of the
online manual. By default, AnswerBook2 uses the HotJava™ browser to
display information. You can perform searches on parts of the
AnswerBook2 or the entire collection.
Due to the amount of disk space which
is taken up by the AnswerBook2 pages, your system administrator may
not have installed AnswerBook2 on the computer's hard disk. However,
it is possible to access AnswerBook2 files from a compact disc-read
only memory (CD-ROM) or hard disk device connected to a remote host on
your computer network.
If AnswerBook2 is accessible through
your network, be aware that there will be a delay between requesting
and displaying AnswerBook2 pages. The speed with which the pages are
collected from the remote hard drive or CD-ROM device is dependent on
network configuration and activity.
