Re: Issues building docs on an offline box again.

My current solution is to build them on the online box and then copy
them over the sneaker net to the offline box.  But, this is kludgey,
so not cool. :)

That's just a workaround.

Certainly agree with you there.

The solution is to have the correct mappings under /etc/xml, so that
it maps the doctype to /usr/share/xml/docbook/manpages/docbook.xsl,
or a similar path. After all, ideally your distro does this for you
automatically. :)

How would I do that?  Unfortunately I have no experience whatsoever
with configuring docbook.  I've always just used a package manager to
install it.  Anyway, there's a `catalog` file in /etc/xml with the
following:

$ cat /etc/xml/catalog
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog
V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
  <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
uri="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/"/>
  <rewriteSystem
systemIdStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/"
rewritePrefix="/usr/share/xml/docbook/4.2/"/>
</catalog>

To my untrained eye there seems to be a local path in there but I have no idea.

Thanks for the help!
