That strikes me as awfully inefficient, not to mention expensive. For a mere fraction of what you would pay for the manuals I believe you could take the pdf to a print shop and have a copy printed. That's fine but remember there are those of us using OpenSuSE that rely on this PDF. Removing it entirely would be worse. You may object to having to print out the manual, but be thankful that you have it at all! Think of those out there who actually see any kind of electronic material as a privlidge. So, yes, print away, but make sure the electronic copy stays available.

Hi Darragh, I am not sure you understood the point I was trying to make. I too like being able to have electronic copies of manuals. In fact, I wish I could have an electronic copy of all of my many programming/reference books. It makes it much easier to carry them with you when you travel. The point I was trying to make is that for those who would prefer to have a printed copy, but don't want to print it themselves, they always have the option to get a copy printed and then they can have both. I wasn't suggesting that SuSE/Novell should print them. -- kr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
