Having two packages permits the user to select the one she wants. There might be people who can live without the HOWTOs or the Debian doc. I get a 'du' of around 1.2 megabyte for the new sets of HOWTO plus the Linux-FAQ I will package. If we add the Debian manual to that, we get quite a voluminous package.

That was my idea. Put such a (small) file there now so that future releases of the browsers can use it for setting the default page.

I'd be afraid of quite some side-effects and surprises. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
