Hi Dan, I am using a Debian testing/unstable mix on the netbook and the info files are from: ,---- | $ dpkg --search python2.5-lib.info.gz | python2.5-doc: /usr/share/info/python2.5-lib.info.gz `---- Strange that the info files are not in the 2.6 version. I may simply remove this package as I don't use python much and, even when I do, I can wait until I'm at one of my desktop systems to read the documentation...
