Abstract(in English) Open source software (OSS) is exhibited free on the Internet in the source code, and improvement and redistribution of the source code are enabled at anyone in a rule. Since it has glasnost of a design, low introductory cost, and high code quality, in many organizations, such as a company, a government office, and a university, OSS(s) are widely used for the purpose of system development, and research and an educational activity now. 0n the other hand, OSS(s) also have some problems. For example, obsoleting of the manual and teaching materials by the release of the high version in a short period of time, the difference in the introductory produce or the usage by the difference in Linux distribution, are pointed out. In addition, generally OSS(s) are developed on a volunteer basis in many cases. Therefore, compared with commercial software, they are hard to follow maintenance of a manual or an installer, and the use and the spread of OSS(s) are not progressing. In this study, in order to solve these prob- lems, it develops the automatic generator system of OSS usage manual aiming at laborsaving of OSS usage manual preparation. The automatic generator system of OSS usage manual is saving the log at the time of installation or use of OSS(s) by an expert, and processing the data, and generates the manual of a Web base automatically. The system was applied in National College of Technology education, and it verifies about usefulness.
