• If you want to set up an actual deployment server, readdocs/howto/deployment/index.txt for instructions.
• You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specificproblems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.
• See docs/README for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.
