I haven't seen any on this list, but essentially this is a function of having a desktop search/indexing engine since there isn't a common format to this stuff. The next release of yelp (GNOME help browser) will display info and man pages, but can't index the random txt, html, pdf etc. that goes into /usr/share/doc/. As a non-technical workaround I wrote a Docbook section for the Installation Guide explaining how to find the various sets of documentation in Fedora, which is currently in my offcuts folder. It's a bad situation for new users at the moment... -- Stuart Ellis s.ellis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
