Hi
I am not the right person to guide you, I am just a retired teacher who tries to
help by installing the new cooker. the suffix .c means that the file is the
source code for a program that is meant to be compiled. There is a howto on that
in mandrake, I can't give you the name because I am in a very small debian at
the moment. My mandrake is on its way via rsync.

Why only those three ones ? And how to update this everytime a new
package-manual appears in mandrake ?
Why not use a more generic link to /usr/share/doc directory ?

Hi

The only implimentation I know of that resembles an overhead for
documentation, is somthing used by SuSe, which is a database traversed by a
browser.

Hi

I have no specific idea concerning this. I just opted for a 'highway' from the
desktop icon and a consistent way on top of the existing ones, probably in html,
for the newcomers.

Nonononono :-) I meant, if you see the documentation in -menu entries
"Documentation", there are only 3 menu items: "Beginner's Guide to
Linux", "Linux HOWTO", and "Mandrake Documentation" :-) So, there are
plenty room for that :-)

On the one hand, this sounds like a nice and useful idea.
On the other hand though, this would add way too many menu entries to the
already bloated and sometimes hard to navigate menu system IMO.
