The packages that come with documentation in formats supported by browsing tools such as info or man install it in the proper places. /usr/doc is for the kind of documentation that *don't* support integrated general browsing systems (unless you call cd and ls a browsing system :-) You don't want to gunzip the compressed files, though. That would require you to be root when reading docs. Just $ zcat blahblah.gz | pager I think all of the pager packages include a 'zfoo' command that does this with a single command. Less does, at least: $ zless blahblah.gz -- Henning Makholm http://www.diku.dk/students/makholm
