Hello,

While studying the RPM howtos I asked for hesterday, I came across an
article by Dan Poirier on the developerworks IBM site dated November
2001. The title is "Packaging software with RPM, Part 1".

Among other things, it explains that you can install rpms without
documentations with the --excludedocs option.

Michael, do you think it is possible to:

        ask the user if docs are wanted at the beginning of install,

        and always run rpm with that option if the answer is No?

        Ciao,
                Marco Fioretti
