I'd like to be able to bookmark the docs in my browser. Here's a list of what's available to me, even with "-doc"...

I suppose I should try to slap together a script that's run after emerge. It would run the "find" command above, process the output, and create a file ~/.docs.html with an unnumbered list of links to the actual documentation. Sounds like a plan. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://techsec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
