Same here.  I have every box set from 6.0 to 10.2, but no 10.3.  The
lack of manuals is the main reason I didn't buy 10.3... even though I
don't use them that much, they do get used.  Interestingly, a friend I
introduced to openSUSE specifically bought the box version from a
local shop rather than download it specifically because he got at
least some documentation with it

I like Carlos' idea of printed material as an extra.  What about
making the manuals available via one of the online print houses?  I
know we could all go submit an order ourselves, but facilitating the
ordering. maybe via teh website might encourage some newer users to
order the books.
