I can understand that <g>. But I would rather have links somewhere than not know what it was a particular package does and how to use it. As a relative Linux newbie, I have found it disconcerting to have things installed on my system when I first booted the system or when I install new packages or upgrade existing ones, and not know what these packages are used for. One can always delete links, and they are cheap, so I would rather have too much to begin with than too little. > > Documentation usually resides in /usr/share/doc/<package>, > /usr/share/doc/packages/<package> or similiar.
