Having not installed recently, I don't know if this is actually done, but one
of the folks that I help with NetBSD (who is even more clueless than me)
pointed out that nowhere in the install docs does it mention the /usr/share/doc
directory.  I pointed him in the right direction, and told him how to produce 
the docs and he is a happy camper now.  If anyone has any plans to change
the install docs, maybe advertising 2 Megs of built in docs might be a Good
Thing(tm).

Just a thought
