OK, thanks for the pointer.
I've got apache set up with /usr/local/www/data as DocumentRoot (the
default, IIRC). Now, to get to the docs, I've made a symlink from
/usr/local/www/data/en to /usr/share/doc/en so that this main index
I've put together, which assumes it's in /usr/share/doc (although I've
put it in /usr/local/www/data) so all it's links are en/...., work. Is
this the correct way to set it up? (The comments in httpd.conf state
that symlinks may be used to point to other locations).
