Hi, I have noticed that the mini howtos are duplicated in their html versions; at least aparently, I have not checked all of them. See, there is a: /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/mini/ but there is also a: /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/mini/HOWTO/mini/ And both seem to hold the same howto files. In fact, they are also duplicated in the original rpm (howtoenh). This happens in suse 7.3. How about suse 8.0 and 8.1? Any idea why? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
The problem is also present in 8.0. I found this when I was trying to trim the fat on the hard drive on my laptop. Ugly. I assume it was a mistake on the part of the packager. They're not quite identical. /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/mini/HOWTO/mini has newer versions of a few files than /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/mini does. I hope they fixed it in 8.1.

That's even worse: they can not be deleted so easily, and you have got to check both versions before reading.
I hope they fixed it in 8.1.
I'll soon check that: I just bought it. Right now, I'm wating for my backup to finish so to start the upgrade ASAP :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

It is not fixed, they are duplicated. There is a "/usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/mini/HOWTO/mini/*" with 830 items, and a "/usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/mini/*" with 824 items. They don't seem to be equal, they seem to hold different files; but it makes things quite difficult when searching for a howto on any subject. I don't understand it :-? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
