you're right that the box is smaller than before but the manuals you're asking for are available as PDFs on the media.
The lack of the printed manuals is the sole reason making me not buy the boxed edition.
You could perhaps think of selling the books separately; maybe even a thicker one with lots of info :-? Instead of selling the dvd, sell the book, with a dvd for free.
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.
