[TriLUG] Docbook, PDF and Ubuntu (5.10)

[Chris Knowles]

Wow, that works like a champ.

I just wish it were possible to do without all the trouble of installing
all that software... I mean, xmlto says it can do PDF output.

But thanks for the help.

(and if anyone knows of a way to get xmlto to work, I'm all ears.)
