P.S. not one of these tools comes with an on board manual, that is what
training and research are for.

That's the right point James.

It is time to rethink about tradition to have manuals as a part of package.

I need manuals to learn how to use tools (I missed many lectures), but I know
that I use very small portion of installed software. The rest is used by
other guys in my "shop", those that created scripts, and they don't need
manuals.

So, what would be the best option if I want to have small, slick collection of
software, but manuals available if want them. I guess separate collection of
manuals, and package manager that will install them on request.
