Nice people,
I wrote a bit earlier trying to express a few of my frustrations with
KDE. I know this is most likely NOT the right place to be asking
about that but I am a fink and KDE beginner in the strong sense of
that word so this will probably be easy.
If I
find /sw/share/doc/HTML/en -name '*.html'
I get ...
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/artistic-license.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/bsd-license.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/fdl-license.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/footer.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/gpl-license.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/header.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/lgpl-license.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/mainfooter.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/mainheader.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/qpl-license.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/common/x11-license.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/commands.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/compilation.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/credits.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/faq.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/index.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/installation.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/introduction.html
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/requirements.html
This is curious to me as I don't recall having seen the 'kchart'
files when I'd done this earlier. Somehow, I seem to have invoked an
expansion of one of these...
[zodraz:~] wump% find /sw/share/doc/HTML/en -name '*.bz2'
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kate/index.cache.bz2
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kchart/index.cache.bz2
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kcontrol/arts/index.cache.bz2
.
.
.
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kword/index.cache.bz2
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/kwrite/index.cache.bz2
/sw/share/doc/HTML/en/thesaurus/index.cache.bz2
... of which I currently have 93, in particular, the one about
kchart. I know this because I've expanded a copy of an
index.cache.bz2 file and noticed that it contained an actual HTML
page on the subject hinted at by the pathname. The trouble is I don't
know how managed the bit with kchart, nor did whatever did it give me
any indication that it had done so.
While I realize there's a great deal of documentation, etc. on the
Web, I live out on the end of a POTS line that's so bad that you can
hear the bits drip out of the modem: taking advantage of the
documentation that's already made it to my computer is much
preferable. Of course, I could light off a script to expand all these
index.cache.bz2 files now that I've stumbled onto the clue about what
they contain, but something tells me that's not the "normal" way.
Care to clue me in?
There're also a lot of thingies related to "DocBook" that look like
they ought to be some kind of useful documentation ... if I just knew
what to do to invoke them properly. Manually mucking about in XML
files doesn't seem like the right thing. ???
