I will show how to construct a minimal example to be used for reporting LaTeX problems at discussion lists. I will also propose a set of rules to be observed when asking questions regarding such problems. I also would like the presentation to be concluded with a short discussion on reporting problems at the GUST list.

The presentation is based on a text written by Christian Faulhammer. The German and English versions of his textbe found at http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/.
