thank everyone (who's typed on this topic) for your help. i set up a server for my local network with the linux documentation html package. i thought, while i was at it, that i'd install any other documentation on the web server that i thought i might need just for conveniance and to save bandwidth. the kde documentation looked like i'd read it if i made it available, so i installed it and set it up with apache. the system that it's installed on doesn't have kde or even X. it's strictly a server (and as a firewall, i didn't want to install X, that'd be to much work for *me* to lock down). so this is the scenario i wanted to use the documentation in. so regarding the suggestions: > ====[ On Friday 27 September 2002 10:50 am, Karolina Lindqvist wrote: ]==== > The problem is that if you pack the images with the html pages, you won't > have the images in the normal kde documentation (right?). > Some solutions to this would be to > 1) to require installation of the html documentation > 2) to have an either- or situation, either docbook or html documentation > 3) to have a separate package for the images. > Maybe another solution would be to simply, somehow, generate the required > html documentation during package installation if required.
