CRFers write and maintain some how-tos that carefully detail how to do some commonly needed tasks. By using these how-tos users can learn how to take care of some things that they previously would have had to contact CRF for. These include things like restoring personal data and installing printers on PCs. As always, contact crf@cs.columbia.edu if you have any problems.
