Hi.

I dont see the point of having a script that removes small textfiles. As the "docpurge" does. Cant see any piont of removing documents.. Question:

1. Why removing documents, as the docpurge -script does?

2. How do I disable it, without messing toomuch with the system?

I have used google, and search function in this forum.. before making this post.. docpurge is just some short script cousing alot of hazzle in bugreports, etc. As I see it. As a comment in its script: (/usr/sbin/docpurge) # Real hackers don't read docs. NOT.

okay thx, I done that now.

But now say, if I want all documents installed.

Then I haveto reinstall package by package.

(I looking forward to do that.. wrote this little script that will do

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# an attempt to reinstall all packages 

COLUMNS=200

#get all installed packages 
aa=$( dpkg -l | awk '{ print $2 }' )

for bb in $aa
do 
clear
 echo "doing something with: $bb"
 apt-get install --reinstall $bb
done

exit 0
will take time, and/or who knows. Am I on wrong track?
(so I wait)

On top of the files being small many are even symlinked :/

Copy the doc folder from a SDK installation.

Note that many Maemo packages (like some of mine) remove docs either way.

Why waste battery charge and weardown on the flash memory if it's gonna delete the files anyway? If after the installation is done the goal is to not have any docs installed, why not simply not install any to start with?
