This is tighly linked with the ftp site ; please wait.
Joshua is working on scripts to ease all this.

However I can write a quick&dirty bash script if it is *that* urgent for
you.

Paul, can I put in on metalab?

RedHat is helping both its users and the LDP having a "LDP" icon on the
desktop of each GNOME user.

We should find new ways to promote the LDP ; would you like to make a
list of possible opportunities?

I'm sorry but I can't find your previous posting.

We have an icon on the GNOME desktop but looks like it is not enough.

Maybe should we ask for a short README.documentation to be put in
/etc/skel ?

It could explain man, info, what is the LDP, where documentation is, how
to use it...

I didn't see this on a redhat 6.1 ; which installations are you talking
about?
