I'm not sure if it does or not but I find it difficult to navigate info.
I'm a man page nut but once it refers me to the info documentation, I'm in
trouble.  Perhaps I just haven't taken enough time to learn info but man
seems to work well enough...  All the fancy navigation just confuses my
old brain.  It's kinda like emacs vs vi to me.  I'm just a simple vi man.
Emacs has a lot of fancy features but I just want to get the job done.


Down with info!  Man forever!!!  LOL

Let the flames begin.  I'll just hide behind this firewall with my flame
retarding underwear on.  :)

For those wo can, use info from Konqueror via the kio_slave. For
example, to see the parted info just enter 'info:/parted/Top' sans
quotes into Konqueror...works like a charm.
