I don't need a network connection to get those pages on any of the Slackware computers I use at home. But this is my office computer with too many people (250) and clients (>1000) sharing a limited bandwidth (5MB) connection to the Internet. Google Search is specifically forbidden, even if I wanted to install it, and any application that does frequent automatic connections is strongly discouraged. I personally don't like any of the automagic search tools because they don't let me know that the information I wanted was not where I thought it should be. That leaves me with too many broken shortcuts and bookmarks. If they are broken, I want to know that before I look for another source for the information.
