Foresight is a desktop operating system featuring an intuitive user interface and a showcase of the latest desktop software, giving users convenient and enjoyable access to their music, photos, videos, documents, and Internet resources

As a Linux distribution, Foresight sets itself apart by eliminating the need for the user to be familiar with Linux, combining a user-focused desktop environment on top of Conary. As the most technically innovative software management system available today, Conary ensures that users can efficiently search, install, and manage all the software on the Foresight system, including bringing in the latest features and fixes without waiting for a major release. Thanks to Conary, Foresight developers can provide those features and fixes through rolling releases, allowing updates to be pushed out as soon as they are available. The latest version of Foresight is 2.0.5 which contains an up to date snapshot of the Foresight respository.

Foresight Linux 2.0 is pre-installed on all Shuttle® KPC systems sold in the United States. The KPC is designed for web surfing, emailing, instant messaging, and light office applications. Shuttle is best known for its benchmark line of toaster-sized small-form-factor computers that fit just about anywhere. The KPC boasts the same small form factor and a unique changeable front image that works like a photo frame. (See Shuttle Computers, The pioneer manufacturer of small factor. for more information about Shuttle products.)

OK I acquired the Source DocBook XML files from the author of Introduction to Linux. But I can not figure out how to convert it into any other format.
 
When you say "I can not figure out" how to convert - meaning - what have you tried so far?

Tried googling for the format and supported apps? Like maybe "scribus" IIRC could be one app that converts from those formats to some readable output like PDF or whatever...

Sorry I completely forgot about my reply in this thread. Here is the link to the file I want to convert to mobi/epub/doc/rtf format so that I can read them in my Kindle after conversion in Calibre. Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I couldn't figure out because I didn't even know what to do with which file.

P.S. I am subscribing to the thread this time.

Has anyone tried to convert this book yet? This is actually the source format.
 
Well, OpenOffice seems to be able to open the abook.xml in "DocBook" format then you can save it any way you like. But I got better formatting using the "docbook2odf" console tool :) I think the images are not all there (I can just see one of Tux)... so you can try something similar yourself. Attaching a ZIP of the various formats I could convert.

Let me know after you download it, so I can delete from my server :)
 
Thanks Vishal, I have downloaded the book. Unfortunately, the aBook included just the introductory pages like Table of contents, etc.
 
That may be coz I only converted the original abook.xml, you can try the same steps with the other XMLs - I dont know how to do all of them in one shot.
 
That's the problem I faced too. Without the whole book Table of contents wont work. Is there any place I can ask for help with this?
 
hmmm, no clue myself, probably a few different google keywords searches will bring up some pointers?
