Does anyone actually read the Apache manual from
apache-manual-1.3.*.rpm?  I'm kind of curious, because I
noticed there's a few problems with it.  For example,
load the manual in Konqueror (or any other browser, they
should all work the same), and click on the link for
"Run-time Configuration Directives".  Once that page
loads, try clicking on the link for "AddHandler".  Yeah,
that's right, you get a 404.

That document, and a few others like it, have some wierd
internationalization thing going on with their file name
that none of the links are aware of:

[dhead@dhead mod]$ rpm -q apache-manual
apache-manual-1.3.20-1mdk
[dhead@dhead mod]$ pwd
/usr/share/doc/apache-manual-1.3.20/mod
[dhead@dhead mod]$ ls -l mod_mime*
-rw-r--r--    1 apache   apache      24825 Jul  9 07:04 mod_mime.html.en
-rw-r--r--    1 apache   apache      24826 Jul  9 07:04 mod_mime.html.html
-rw-r--r--    1 apache   apache      27505 Jul  9 07:04 mod_mime.html.ja.jis
-rw-r--r--    1 apache   apache      10481 Jul  9 07:04 mod_mime_magic.html

Notice the lack of "mod_mime.html", the file referenced
in the "AddHandler" link.

I'm not sure if this is a Mandrake packaging issue or an
Apache tarball issue, but it really defeats the purpose
of having a local copy of the documentation.  Apache's
online version of the documentation works fine.

I noticed this first with apache-1.3.20-1mdk, but I 
performed a "rpm -qpl" on apache-1.3.22-2mdk, and it
appears to have the same problem.  I checked an old box
with apache-manual-1.3.14-2mdk, and it works as expected,
no extra or missing files.
