There are various ways to obtain support for NUT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Documentation
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- First, be sure to read the link:docs/FAQ.html[FAQ]. The most common problems are already
|
||
|
|
addressed there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ifdef::website[]
|
||
|
|
- Else, you can read the link:docs/user-manual.chunked/index.html[NUT User Manual].
|
||
|
|
endif::website[]
|
||
|
|
ifndef::website[]
|
||
|
|
- Else, you can read the linkdoc:user-manual[NUT user manual].
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
It also covers many areas about installing, configuring and using NUT.
|
||
|
|
The specific steps on system integration are also discussed.

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Finally, link:docs/man/index.html#User_man[User manual pages] will also
|
||
|
|
complete the User Manual provided information. At least, read the manual
|
||
|
|
page related to your driver(s).

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mailing lists
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have still not found a solution, you should search the lists before
|
||
|
|
posting a question.
