I assume that you are referring to wiki documentation on opensuse.org and NovellForge when talking about "Novell docs". Personally, I do not think that it makes sense to put this on SUSE Linux, because these web pages constantly get changed (they are hosted on a wiki, after all).

Frank, The fact that documentation changes doesn't mean users must get the SUSE distro undocumented.
this is a very dangerous thing to say on a list the whole team that actually documents SUSE Linux is reading ;-)))
The fact that linux-kernel changes everyday doesn't mean that users get SUSE distro without the kernel either.
The *sole* purpose of distro - is to make it all available offline - that is - make *frozen* in time packages - both docs & software - available to general public in convenient way.
Have you ever tried to make an installable Linux system from packages you downloaded from various sources? Making a distro is much more than just packaging and burning a DVD ;-). Nevertheless, I think I see your point. You would like to have something like a "SUSE Linux cookbook" added to the documentation, correct? -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert
