With regards to documentation, I've seen a similar issue as what John is saying. I've seen this problem with Suse, Mandrake, and RH. Basically, it seems that some of the documentation (and it is invariably the stuff you are looking for) doesn't seem get set up in the help system. That said though the documentation does get installed - typically to the /usr/share/doc directory (though I could be wrong, or it could be distro specific). The files stored here are typically gzipped, but can be viewed via KWrite, or even just a "cat /usr/share/doc/applicationName/documentFile | less" at the command line.
Of course, when all else fails, you can normally find the documentation on the Internet. With regards to networking, I was once told that sometimes the DHCP Client utility isn't properly installed (as was the case in my last Suse install). This doesn't mean DHCP isn't functional, but some of the steps needed to ensure proper network configuration may not happen. The solution was to go through the packages and find the dhcpc package (I think I have the name right), and ensure it was installed. This cleaned up my network connection issues - might be a similar issue in John's case.
