You were right, they're already installed ( I thought i'd selected the
docbook stuff at install), so why do I get
# yum install xmlto
...
Nothing to do
This may seem silly, but I'm a bit believer in lessening the learning
curves steepness, so can you add the line
"Do 'yum search <file-name>' as root to see if you need to install
any
of the files."
to:
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/documentation-guide/ch-getting-
files.html
I agree. This needs to be updated. I'll add this to the docs wiki.

Well not quite, I still don't know what app to start and what to do with
it...
Nor do I have any experience of using cvs, maybe you can recommend a
link and add it to that page as well?
I think the instructions are pretty clear. This is the doc I followed when
I started. It points you
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/documentation-guide/ch-emacs.html
and lists explict commands, which is all you need to type. So, paste one
line at a time, hit enter and you're done:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@rhlinux.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
cvs -z3 login
cvs -z3 co fedora-docs
