Well, I didn't dare to propose this for 3 reasons :
- chm package is 16.3MB, adding to already heavy 78.8MB lazarus installer exe,
not cool for some people who are bandwidth-challenged; If the plain-text html
is the same content, that could be included by default, possibly.

- documentation updates - may they happen in between releases ? if so, it is
easier to download docs as separate exe and just launch (under windows) or
run 'sudo apt-get upgrade' (under *buntu for example) which happens 
automatically
if set up so (not everybody has a taste or time for RSS updates ...)

- packaging / splitting requirements of different distros (you may heard of 
them)...
requiring somebody to create a meta-package with correct dependencies (and 
maintaining it)

I don't know if it is possible. Some installers on windows do ask for options like this, and if selected download the required files.
