grace and peace to you.

thank everyone (who's typed on this topic) for your help.

i set up a server for my local network with the linux documentation html 
package.  i thought, while i was at it, that i'd install any other 
documentation on the web server that i thought i might need just for 
conveniance and to save bandwidth.

the kde documentation looked like i'd read it if i made it available, so i 
installed it and set it up with apache.  the system that it's installed on 
doesn't have kde or even X.  it's strictly a server (and as a firewall, i 
didn't want to install X, that'd be to much work for *me* to lock down).

so this is the scenario i wanted to use the documentation in.

so regarding the suggestions:

in my scenario, neither 1 nor 4 would be ideal.  i don't necessarily want the 
extra docs on my work machine or the actual programs on the server.  i like 3 
best.  then both the program and the docs could just link to the images.

thanks.
