Rather than doing temporary builds of documents, you can use the yelp GNOME Help Browser to read DocBook documents directly. To read a document "under construction" in CVS, do the following:

1. Checkout the document: $ export CVSROOT=:ext:<username>@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/docs $ cvs co install-guide-devel 2. Validate the XML to ensure all the dependency files are bulit: $ cd install-guide-devel/install-guide $ make validate-xml-<LANG> # <LANG> = en_US, pt, ... 3. Open the document "parent" file in yelp: $ yelp file://$PWD/<LANG>/fedora-install-guide.xml

As you make changes, you can hit Ctrl+R in yelp to reload the changes immediately. This is also far easier than rebuilding to see your changes in HTML!
