</I>>><i> I am strictly opposed to include documentation in a software package,
</I>>><i> in general, not only in the case at hand. Although I spent much time
</I>>><i> for voluntary translation work, I still think it is up to the user if
</I>>><i> he wants/needs the documentation. A prominent example which matches my
</I>>><i> POV is The Gimp.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Reality is that in non-technical issues people in charge decide on the
</I>>><i> basis of their opinion. That's the normal way and the rest has to live
</I>>><i> with it. I have no problem with that.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> You should here open a bug report on kde bugzilla then to get attention &
</I>><i> remove documentation from every kde tarball/project (which also means to
</I>><i> deal with the F1 shortcut & have a dynamic help menu)
</I>
I don't open bug reports on something I know is a wanted feature by
the developpers. Wastes my time and the time of the bug squad.

</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> If non-installation of handbooks is not possible then at least make it
</I>>><i> possible to *uninstall* handbooks without having to use 'rpm --nodeps'
</I>>><i> on each and every one.
</I>><i> I don't remember having a package requiring his handbook at all since I used
</I>><i> suggests here especially to fix the live cd problem I pointed earlier.
</I>><i> The idea is to ensure that you'll get kcal handbook removed when kcal
</I>><i> package is removed.
</I>
As I wrote:
1. At system installation by the installer I can not exclude the
handbook from installation when I mark the application for
installation in the individual package selection (which would be my
choice but is rejected). There is no "--no-suggests" option in the
installer.
2. So after system installation I want at least be able to uninstall
the handbooks while keeping the applications.
