But their sponsored book speaks of it as though it were available, and they put it on the disk -- but don't tell you were it is, so that you won't use it to find other files.

That's wonderful. How do they expect a user to find a file when he doesn't know exactly where it is? OS-2 and even Windows make it quite Man's OS", but I begin to see that this is not necessarily so. It has taken me over a day to get this far, asking in various places about how to do a simple thing like finding a file. Now that I understand that SUSE is pointing itself at a market of people that need nothing but the desktop, it is clear why. What they choose to call "documentation" is a sad excuse, and often (as in the present case) misleading. The "documentation" (quotes are intentional) are good for people who don't need them.

I don't know how you could.

Many thanks Michael, for your information, and for your analysis, which appears to me to be spot on. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel
