Hi Oliver I dont think you're every going to get that. From my limited experience, the philosophy of Unix/Linux is to have many small tools. Of course the desired effect is to combine the tools and end up with a program (of sorts). For me, the *best* way to have *all* your docs in one place is to take advantage of the builtin webserver and even easier SuSE default page that comes with the distro. Ive mentioned this yesterday as how to do it install as much docs as you like thru yast, then in rc.config set your machine to be a "doc_server" in rc.config DOC_HOST= your ip address or localhost DOC_SERVER= yes run SuSEconfig then when you open your browser, from SuSEs default page (on your loacl webserver) you'll see *all* the docs! mans infos how-tos RFC Books packages(alll the programs on your machine) anything_else (all the documentation you installed thru yast in there) its all there!! just point and click Ive you want to get carried away, you can look into htdig which will do basically the same thing but in a searchable indexed format Htdig is a fair amount of work to setup, but if your interested its there Actually there is the built in search form preconfigured already there your have apache running??? If not you should. Its pretty much preconfigured so its just a matter of turning it on ;-) rc.config start webserver Ive found using the doc_server which is built in works as well as I need... everythings there have fun! rob
