That's not the issue here. I prefer KDE and my small SSD is perfectly sufficient for this desktop - if I do not have the option to really choose what I want. Yes, I could unmark the documentation section in the package group selection but I want the man pages. Of course I could unmark all *-handbook packages in the KDE section but the installer does not obey this, if a kde game is marked for installation, the handbook will be installed whatever I did to the matching handbook package. > If we don't provide the handbooks (with the applications) we will devalue > its importance, and personally will be very discouraged to translate them. Having being in manual writing and translating for at least 9 years I learned something: each day you will meet people who could have solved their problems with one look into the documentation but rather waited for 2 days in the forum for an answer. The easier and user-friendly the software becomes, the less you will be able to make people read them. Yes, sometimes you sit there translating a doc and you keep thinking "WTF am I doing here". You have to live with that for the sake of those few users who actually read. So, yes, it is discouraging but it's not a valid argument here. -- wobo
