This kind of situation is probably familiar to most Debian users. But is yet another ephemeral readme file the answer? What we need is a tool that can search all the available on-line documentation. Smarter than "man -k", which anyway only searches man pages. An interface a bit like Micros**t's Help, which is a tabbed dialog offering 3 views of the documentation: a contents view, an index view, and a "find" (smart search) view. And like "man -k" it would be mostly useful for finding out about commands/packages you didn't know existed. Apologies for being off-topic for this list group but I think this is a really important hole that needs to be filled. Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
