Yes, in the menu there's Help/Howto's, which brings up Netscape with the
html-Howto's.
However, that's true that it is sometimes hard for newbies to discover the
place for documentation for packages ; and also, once you know it, it's
not easy to browse in it if you don't like the command line tools. Most
users are not extreme-geeks :-).
I would add, to be more general, that some packages are bringing man
pages, some others info pages, some others only a text-faq, some others,
html documentation, etc.
It is true that it would be better to be easily informed, say, given a
package name, what sort of help/information system is available.
Anyone thinking this may be a good idea / anyone having an idea how we
could realize that ?
