Greetings, Seems odd that the "Cygwin User's Guide" (html) is not installed with the "cygwin-doc" package. The package descriptions claims to include the "User's Guide".
The install file, cygwin-doc-1.7-1.tar.bz2, contains a cygwin-ug-net.info file, installed in usr/share/info. Attempts even to use 'info' have failed. Attempting 'info cygwin-ug-net' yields No menu item `cygwin-ug-net' in node '(dir)Top'. Editing 'dir' to include cygwin-ug-net (as follows (w/o indent)): * Cygwin Users Guide: (cygwin-ug-net). Cygwin Users Guide. results in the following when menu selected: Cannot find node `Top'. (Ok, so I've used 'info' in the past, even written some doc for it. But that was long ago and I was not a guru then and certainly not now.) This _should_not_ be this hard. By default, cygwin-doc, should provide html files as does Cygwin/X Users Guide, not info files. (No this is not to start some discussion on the merits of info over html/browser, the world wide web adoption has spoken.) There is very useful information in the 'Cygwin Users Guide'. It should be part of the basic "cygwin-doc" package, so that one does not have to go out to the web to read it. So is this an error, oversite, or have I missed installing some other package that includes this? Or have I missed something very obvious?
