Well, the reason I suggest making it a FEATURE instead of anything else is because that way we can include the whole package of man pages and documentation in built binary packages, but simply prevent it from entering the "final" system afterwards. This would probably just mean a few lines to check the feature, and if it exists, scan usr/share/doc and remove all files that want to install there... > I'm not the programmer of it but i guess the mainquestion is how to > configure it.

No need in splitting it up in a case like this. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!
