Then I think I made not clear what the problem is. Currently Linux distributions are not allowed to ship the manual *at all*. Not in the "non-free" section, not accompanied with the server. The only allowed way to get the manual for the end-user is directly from you i.e. your website. So I will remove all mysql-doc packages from Debian. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
