The User Guide is not intended to be a replacement for the application
manuals. You should turn to the handbook for help with specific program
configuration and troubleshooting issues not covered in this book. If the
answer is outside the scope of this book, we will tell you here precisely
where to look for further help.
You may also have a variety of third party packages, and some of these
applications are mentioned briefly here, but we normally cover only the
applications provided as part of a KDE release. This is not a judgment on
the value of third party applications, and in fact many of them are
excellent.
The User Guide is not specific to a distribution, and covers a default KDE
installation. Your local installation may be customized by your
distribution provider, or by yourself, and so our advice here is
generic. You may have to adjust paths in order to locate the files that are
discussed.
