Hi Dan,

I am using a Debian testing/unstable mix on the netbook and the info
files are from:

,----
| $ dpkg --search python2.5-lib.info.gz
| python2.5-doc: /usr/share/info/python2.5-lib.info.gz
`----

Strange that the info files are not in the 2.6 version.

I may simply remove this package as I don't use python much and, even
when I do, I can wait until I'm at one of my desktop systems to read
the documentation...

Thanks,
eric
