I think that one of the 5 CDs is documentation CD, I guess they're 
somewhere in there.

I got 3 discs, 2 for installation, the 3rd for documentation... But I 
don't remember
seeing any particular HOWTO, perhaps on the other CD's...

I also didn't see it in RH7.2 (The Doc. CD was preety empty...)

Which is why the subject line reads redhat did it *again*. The last howto rpm 
was in 7.2. 7.3 had none.

 I think that one of the 5 CDs is documentation CD, I guess they're
 somewhere in there.

No, they are not in there; only the redhat installation, getting started, 
customization and administration guides plus the IIRC brand new security 
guides are in there. BTW, the documentation cd is the sixth disc, to be 
downloaded from an adjacent tree (i.e., not from iso/i386 but from iso/doc).


Cheers,

Arie
