Man pages, info pages, FAQs, HOWTOs, mini-HOWTOs, READMEs, INSTALL docs, package descriptions... it is a bit daunting. I do feel that anyone installing anything shoud be up for some reading, but just how much reading is the question. I'm not even going to think about complaining about the amount of documentation, coming from systems that have zip, I know from experience how helpful good documentation can be. But I wonder if maybe there is a better way to organize the volumunous information given to us in a standard, easy to use, heirarchial fashion. -Jay
