I'm getting testy in my senior years.  But it annoys me that many
pre-packaged amanda's do not supply the docs provided in the source
and/or new users do not look for them.

I just took a look at my amanda distribution tree.

        100+ Kb  of man pages under "man" dir
        100+ Kb  of sample config files under "example" dir
        200+ Kb  of how-to and other information under "docs" dir

Could they be better/extended/updated?  Sure.  And as Joshua wrote:
