Unfortunatley I don't see anywhere in this file where the defaults for
installing docs for binary rpms are. And as for wine... I want to use
wine to play some games, and I know that it works on mine with a clean
install of mandrake 6, but with the same config file in my upgraded
install, X dies. And it was also doing this in 5.3, but the upgrade
didn't fix it.
