How are typical users expected to read the documentation in /usr/share/doc?
- by ændrük
I only recently learned that there is a huge pile of documentation in /usr/share/doc.
How on earth is a typical user supposed to find out about that?
It seems like much of it is gzipped, and inaccessible with administrative privileges:
$ gunzip examples/letter.tex.gz
gzip: examples/letter.tex: Permission denied
Are users expected to duplicate each item in their home directory just to read it, or is there a less tedious solution?
This arrangement hardly seems conducive to regular browsing. How do normal people read this documentation?
