Well, not without reading the documentation.

Well, not without reading the documentation.
I suggest that whenever you install an "end user" package that you:
1.0 Do a "dpkg -L <package> | less" and look for:
1.1 help files (.txt, .html, ??)
1.2 config files
1.3 example files
1.4 man pages, info files
Read the stuff under "/usr/share/doc/<package>" especially the:
NEWS.Debian.gz
README.Debian
files.
Even after all that, you may not get the information you want.
I highly reccommend a "thorough" google search (using lynx and the d
key) in a directory relevant to what you are searching for, i.e.
~/Software/backup/mondoarchive/google/gs-1-100/
In fact, I would say that it is only from doing that, that you start to
see the [amazing] capabilities. e.g., "imagemagick."
