openSUSE® provides the tools that Linux* users require in their
daily activities. It comes with an easy-to-use graphical environment, the
KDE* desktop, that communicates with the underlying Linux system to
access and manage files, folders, and programs.
<span>openSUSE
provides an integrated suite of applications for a wide range of purposes
(office, multimedia, Internet).</span> The OpenOffice.org suite is also
included, which allows you to edit and save files in a number of formats.
Because the office suite is available for several operating systems, you
can use the same data across different computing platforms.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="1. Getting Started"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.kdequick.start"></a>1.

When you start your system, you are usually prompted to enter your
username and password. If you did not install the system yourself, check
with the system administrator for your username and password.
</p><p>
After logging in to KDE for the first time, you see the KDE desktop,
which shows the following basic elements:
</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="80%"><tr><td><img src="images/kde_desktop_menus.png" width="100%"></td></tr></table></div></div><p title="Desktop Folder:"><b>Desktop Folder: </b>
By default, the desktop folder shows the contents of its
<code class="filename">~/Desktop</code> directory. Whenever you insert a file
into this directory, it appears in this view too.
</p><p title="Desktop Context Menu:"><b>Desktop Context Menu: </b>
Right-click an empty area on the desktop to access the context menu for
configuring the appearance of the desktop, adding panels or widgets to
the desktop, configuring desktop settings, locking the widgets in their
current position, leaving the current session, or for locking the
screen.
</p><p title="Desktop Toolbox:"><b>Desktop Toolbox: </b>
Move your mouse pointer to the icon in the upper right corner of the
desktop to access the menu that lets you add or lock widgets.
</p><p title="KDE Panel:"><b>KDE Panel: </b>
By default, the panel of your KDE desktop consists of the <span class="guimenu">Main
Menu</span> icon on the left, further widgets and program icons, and
the panel settings icon on the right. If you hover the mouse pointer
over an icon in the panel, a short description is displayed.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="2. Starting Programs"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.kdequick.startprogr"></a>2. Starting Programs<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.kdequick.startprogr">¶</a></span></h2></div></div></div><p>
Start programs from the <span class="guimenu">Main Menu</span> or from the command
line, using a shell or the <span class="guimenu">Run Command</span>. Additionally,
you can start programs from the desktop or the panel by left-clicking the
program icon once.
</p><div class="sect2" title="2.1. Using the Main Menu"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sec.kdequick.startprogr.menu"></a>2.1. Using the Main Menu<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.kdequick.startprogr.menu">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
To open the <span class="guimenu">Main Menu</span>, click the <span class="guimenu">Main
Menu</span> icon in the panel or press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F1</span>. The
<span class="guimenu">Main Menu</span> consists of the following elements: a
search function at the top and several tabs at the bottom, providing
quick access to the key functions of the menu. Additionally, the menu
displays your login name and the hostname of your computer.
</p><p>
<span class="guimenu">Favorites</span> shows a default selection of key programs
for quick access, whereas <span class="guimenu">Applications</span> shows all
applications installed on your system. To navigate through the menu
structure, click an entry and use the arrow icons at the right or the
left to switch back and forth. <span class="guimenu">Computer</span> and
<span class="guimenu">Recently Used</span> provide quick access to some frequently
used places, applications, or documents. <span class="guimenu">Leave</span> shows
several options for leaving the session such as logging out, locking the
screen (access can only be regained with a password), shutting down or
restarting the computer. Some computers offer to suspend your session to
RAM or disc.
</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="50%"><tr><td><img src="images/kde_main_menu.png" width="100%"></td></tr></table></div></div><p>
If you often need a program and do not want to dig into the menu
structure, you can integrate the icon into the
<span class="guimenu">Favorites</span> tab. Right-click the icon on any of the
other tabs and choose <span class="guimenu">Add to Favorites</span>.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="2.2. Using the Run Command Dialog"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sec.kdequick.startprogr.krunner"></a>2.2. Using the Run Command Dialog<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.kdequick.startprogr.krunner">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
KRunner is a helper application that lets you quickly start programs.
Apart from that, it offers a search function for finding applications or
locations.
</p><p>
Press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span> to open the <span class="guimenu">Run Command</span> dialog. Type a
command, for example, <span class="command"><strong>dolphin</strong></span>. While you are typing,
the dialog shows a list of applications or actions that match your
input. Select one of the results or press <span class="keycap">Enter</span> to
start the highlighted application or action. The command to start the
application is often (but not always) the application name written in
lowercase.
</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="60%"><tr><td><img src="images/kde_krunner.png" width="100%"></td></tr></table></div></div><p>
KRunner's abilities can also be extended by a huge number of plug-ins
that provide additional functionality. Click the wrench symbol on the
left of the input field to explore the full range of available plug-ins.
For example, you can use so-called <span class="emphasis"><em>Web shortcuts</em></span>
defined in Konqueror to send search requests directly to a search engine
without first opening the browser. For details, refer to
<a class="xref" href="art.kdequick.html#sec.kdequick.browser.conf" title="8.3. Configuring Preferences">Section 8.3, “Configuring Preferences”</a>.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="2.3. Searching for Programs"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sec.kdequick.startprogr.search"></a>2.3. Searching for Programs<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.kdequick.startprogr.search">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
Both the <span class="guimenu">Main Menu</span> and the <span class="guimenu">Run
Command</span> dialog offer a search function that lets you quickly
start programs even if you do not already know the exact application
name or command. To search for an application, start typing a command or
part of the application name in the <span class="guimenu">Main Menu</span>
<span class="guimenu">Search</span> field or the input field in the <span class="guimenu">Run
Command</span> dialog. Each character you enter narrows down the
search.
</p><p>
From the list below the input field, choose the application matching
your query.
</p></div></div><div class="sect1" title="3. Handling Media"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.kdequick.mediahandling"></a>3. Handling Media<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.kdequick.mediahandling">¶</a></span></h2></div></div></div><p>
If you insert a CD or DVD into your drive or plug in a pluggable device
(for example, a USB stick or removable hard disk), the device notifier
widget opens a small window alerting you to this. It also proposes
possible actions, depending on the type of the device.
</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><table border="0" summary="manufactured viewport for HTML img" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="25%"><tr><td><img src="images/kde_devicenotifier.png" width="100%"></td></tr></table></div></div><p>
For example, if you plugged in a digital camera, the actions allow you to
download your photos with Gwenview or digiKam. Click the device entry
in the widget to access the available actions. To safely remove the
device from your computer, use the icon on the right side of the device
entry.

are locked you cannot add, move, or remove any objects to or from your
desktop.
</p><p>
To lock or unlock the desktop elements, click the cashew icon (desktop

If your computer supports a 3D graphics card with Xgl, you can use
graphical effects like turning your desktop into a rotating 3D cube,
enabling translucent or transparent windows, and zooming in and out of
the desktop screen. You can also use other window effects such as
shadows, fading, and transformations. If you do not have a 3D graphics
card, some effects may be disabled or reduce the performance of your
system. If the performance of your system is too low, disable the
compositing effect for your current session with <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">Shift</span>+<span class="keycap">F12</span>.

When you enter a password in a KDE application for the first time (in
KMail or Konqueror, for example), you are asked if you want to store the
password. If you click <span class="guimenu">Yes</span>, KWallet wizard starts by
default. KWallet is a password management tool that can collect all
passwords and store them in one or more encrypted files (called
<code class="literal">wallets</code>).

To activate KWallet, select <span class="guimenu">Basic Setup</span> and click
<span class="guimenu">Next</span>. Select <span class="guimenu">Yes, I wish to use the KDE

If you forget your master password for any wallet, it cannot be
recovered. Furthermore, anyone who knows your master password can obtain
all information contained in the respective wallet.
</p></td></tr></table></div><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Finish</span> to close the wizard. If you started the
KWallet wizard initially from another application like Konqueror or
KMail, KWallet will prompt you to enter the password once again in order
to store the password for this application in the newly created wallet.
After initial configuration you can open your wallet at any time to view,
search, delete, or create entries. Normally you do not need to insert an
entry manually. KDE recognizes if a resource requires authentication and
KWallet starts automatically, prompting you for the KWallet password.
However, you can add additional data if you wish. To configure any
KWallet options, press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span> and enter
<span class="command"><strong>kwalletmanager</strong></span>. In the <span class="guimenu">KDE Wallet
Manager</span> that opens select <span class="guimenu">Settings</span>+<span class="guimenu">Configure Wallet</span>.
</p><p>
Whereas KWallet is designed to centrally manage passwords for several KDE
applications, Firefox also offers the ability to store data when you
enter a username and a password on a Web site. If you accept by clicking
<span class="guimenu">Remember</span>, the password will be stored on your hard
disk in an encrypted format. The next time you access this site, Firefox

Documents that need to be shared or printed across multiple platforms can
be saved as PDF (Portable Document Format) files, for example, in the
OpenOffice.org suite. View them with Okular, the default KDE document viewer.
</p><div class="sect2" title="13.1. Using Okular Document Viewer"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sec.kdequick.docview.okular"></a>13.1. Using Okular Document Viewer<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.kdequick.docview.okular">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
Apart from PDF files, Okular allows you to view a great number of file
formats, such as PostScript, several image formats, OpenDocument format
(ODF), OpenDocument text (ODT), some eBook formats (ePub), and even
Microsoft* Compiled HTML Help (CHM). Okular also provides support for
bookmarks, annotations, form fields and multimedia content, and the
rotation of pages.

Start Okular from the <span class="guimenu">Main Menu</span> or press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span> and enter
<span class="command"><strong>okular</strong></span>.
</p><p>
To open a document, select <span class="guimenu">File</span>+<span class="guimenu">Open</span> and choose the desired file from
the file system. Navigate through the document by using the navigation
icons at the top or bottom of the window. Depending on which icon you

view of each page, the <span class="guimenu">Reviews</span>, or your
<span class="guimenu">Bookmarks</span> for this file. To filter for any text
listed in the sidebar or the overall document, enter a string into the

With Okular, you can review a document by highlighting certain text
parts or adding annotations or bookmarks that Okular then attaches to
the file in the form of metadata. Note that the annotations and markers
you add are not stored within the document, so you cannot print them or
pass them on to other users.

(or flag them with tags for easy retrieval, independent of folders or
albums), archive them on CD or DVD, or export them to a Web image
gallery.
</p><p>
digiKam also contains a set of useful batch functions and plug-ins,
allowing you to convert multiple images to various different formats,
rename multiple images, or automatically improve them with functions such
as red eye reduction, speck removal, and hot pixel removal. Various
filter and effects plug-ins help create works of art from your digital
images.
</p><p>
To start digiKam, press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span> and enter <span class="command"><strong>digikam</strong></span>. On

KDE's Amarok music player allows you to play various audio formats,
create playlists, listen to streaming audio broadcasts of radio stations
on the Internet and subscribe to podcasts. The file types supported

</p><p>
To start Amarok, press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span> and enter <span class="command"><strong>amarok</strong></span>. On

Amarok's main window shows a sidebar on the left providing different
views: your local music collection, some addresses to listen to podcasts
or streams from the Internet, your playlists and a file browser. The
middle part, the context browser, displays information about the current
track, the Wikipedia page of the artist and the song's lyrics by default.
The right part of the window shows the current playlist. To play music,
just drag and drop items from any of the sidebar browsers to the playlist
area. Double-click an item in the playlist to start playback.
</p><p>
If your music files are properly tagged (containing at least information
about the artist and album), you can make use of several nice Amarok
features. To automatically retrieve the album cover images from Amazon,
select <span class="guimenu">Tools</span>+<span class="guimenu">Cover
Manager</span> and click <span class="guimenu">Fetch Missing
Covers</span>. The next time you play a track from this album, the
cover is displayed in the context browser and on the on-screen display.
To learn more about the artist, click on the <span class="guimenu">Wikipedia</span>
button in the middle area to make Amarok search for the appropriate
Wikipedia article.
</p><p>
To configure the use of another engine (or various other Amarok
features), select <span class="guimenu">Settings</span>+<span class="guimenu">Configure Amarok</span>.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
</p><div class="sect2" title="21.1. PREAMBLE"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id318352"></a>21.1. PREAMBLE<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id318352">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document “free” in the sense of
freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and
redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or
noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and
publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered
responsible for modifications made by others.
</p><p>
This License is a kind of <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">copyleft</span>”</span>, which means that
derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same
sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
</p><p>
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program
should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software
does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used
for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is
published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for
works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id318384"></a>21.2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id318384">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work
under the conditions stated herein. The <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Document</span>”</span>, below,
refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
licensee, and is addressed as <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">you</span>”</span>. You accept the license
if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
under copyright law.
</p><p>
A <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Modified Version</span>”</span> of the Document means any work
containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or
with modifications and/or translated into another language.
</p><p>
A <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Secondary Section</span>”</span> is a named appendix or a front-matter
section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of
the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection
with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial,
philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.
</p><p>
The <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Invariant Sections</span>”</span> are certain Secondary Sections
whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
Sections then there are none.
</p><p>
The <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Cover Texts</span>”</span> are certain short passages of text that
are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that
says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text
may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
</p><p>
A <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Transparent</span>”</span> copy of the Document means a
machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is
available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the
document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely
available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text
formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable
for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent
file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to
thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not
Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any
substantial amount of text. A copy that is not <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Transparent</span>”</span>
is called <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Opaque</span>”</span>.
</p><p>
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII
without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML
using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML,
PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated
HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output
purposes only.
</p><p>
The <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Title Page</span>”</span> means, for a printed book, the title page
itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
formats which do not have any title page as such, <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Title
Page</span>”</span> means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
</p><p>
A section <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Entitled XYZ</span>”</span> means a named subunit of the
Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in
parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here
XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Acknowledgements</span>”</span>, <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Dedications</span>”</span>,
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Endorsements</span>”</span>, or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">History</span>”</span>.) To
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Preserve the Title</span>”</span> of such a section when you modify the
Document means that it remains a section <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Entitled XYZ</span>”</span>
according to this definition.
</p><p>
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License,
but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that
these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the
meaning of this License.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.3. VERBATIM COPYING"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id426744"></a>21.3. VERBATIM COPYING<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id426744">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to
the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical
measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the
copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in
exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies
you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
</p><p>
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you
may publicly display copies.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.4. COPYING IN QUANTITY"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id426765"></a>21.4. COPYING IN QUANTITY<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id426765">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the
back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the
publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title
with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to
the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other
respects.
</p><p>
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly,
you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the
actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.
</p><p>
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more
than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy
along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a
computer-network location from which the general network-using public has
access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until
at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy
(directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the
public.
</p><p>
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.5. MODIFICATIONS"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id338139"></a>21.5. MODIFICATIONS<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id338139">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the
conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the
Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version
filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and
modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it.
In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
</p><p title="A."><b>A. </b>
Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from
that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should,
if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document).
You may use the same title as a previous version if the original
publisher of that version gives permission.
</p><p title="B."><b>B. </b>
List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version,
together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document
(all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they
release you from this requirement.
</p><p title="C."><b>C. </b>
State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified
Version, as the publisher.
</p><p title="D."><b>D. </b>
Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
</p><p title="E."><b>E. </b>
Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to
the other copyright notices.
</p><p title="F."><b>F. </b>
Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms
of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
</p><p title="G."><b>G. </b>
Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and
required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.
</p><p title="H."><b>H. </b>
Include an unaltered copy of this License.
</p><p title="I."><b>I. </b>
Preserve the section Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">History</span>”</span>, Preserve its
Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title
Page. If there is no section Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">History</span>”</span> in the
Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of
the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the
Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
</p><p title="J."><b>J. </b>
Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public
access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network
locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on.
These may be placed in the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">History</span>”</span> section. You may omit
a network location for a work that was published at least four years
before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
it refers to gives permission.
</p><p title="K."><b>K. </b>
For any section Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Acknowledgements</span>”</span> or
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Dedications</span>”</span>, Preserve the Title of the section, and
preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the
contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
</p><p title="L."><b>L. </b>
Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their
text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not
considered part of the section titles.
</p><p title="M."><b>M. </b>
Delete any section Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Endorsements</span>”</span>. Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
</p><p title="N."><b>N. </b>
Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Endorsements</span>”</span> or to conflict in title with any Invariant
Section.
</p><p title="O."><b>O. </b>
Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
</p><p>
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices
that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from
the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these
sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of
Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These
titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
</p><p>
You may add a section Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Endorsements</span>”</span>, provided it
contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been
approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
standard.
</p><p>
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of
Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text
and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made
by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the
same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same
entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher
that added the old one.
</p><p>
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.6. COMBINING DOCUMENTS"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id418807"></a>21.6. COMBINING DOCUMENTS<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id418807">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list
them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license
notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
</p><p>
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy.
If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different
contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end
of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of
that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment
to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license
notice of the combined work.
</p><p>
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">History</span>”</span> in the various original documents, forming one
section Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">History</span>”</span>; likewise combine any sections
Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Acknowledgements</span>”</span>, and any sections Entitled
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Dedications</span>”</span>. You must delete all sections Entitled
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Endorsements</span>”</span>.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.7. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id418851"></a>21.7. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id418851">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
</p><p>
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other
respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.8. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id418870"></a>21.8. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id418870">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and
independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the
copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal
rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works
permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does
not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
derivative works of the Document.
</p><p>
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies
of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire
aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on covers that
bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent
of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must
appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.9. TRANSLATION"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id418893"></a>21.9. TRANSLATION<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id418893">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute
translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing
Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from
their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all
Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these
Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and
all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers,
provided that you also include the original English version of this
License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In
case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version
of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
prevail.
</p><p>
If a section in the Document is Entitled <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Acknowledgements</span>”</span>,
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Dedications</span>”</span>, or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">History</span>”</span>, the requirement
(section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require
changing the actual title.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.10. TERMINATION"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id338919"></a>21.10. TERMINATION<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id338919">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy,
modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.11. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id338934"></a>21.11. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#id338934">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU
Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns. See
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
</p><p>
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If
the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">or any later version</span>”</span> applies to it, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of
any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft)
by the Free Software Foundation.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="21.12. ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id338959"></a>21.12.

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the
License in the document and put the following copyright and license
notices just after the title page:
</p><pre class="screen">
Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
A copy of the license is included in the section entitled “GNU
Free Documentation License”.
</pre><p>
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
replace the “with...Texts.” line with this:
</p><pre class="screen">
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
</pre><p>
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
</p><p>
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their
use in free software.
