I want to propose to send post-install instrutions via mail to the root user
additionally, this way one needs not to look into the documentation for every
installed package but gets every information collected in his inbox.
Bad idea. I have 2176 packages installed so potentially, I'd have 2176
emails awaiting me when I install a fresh box. Once enough packages
start doing this, I won't be wading through my INBOX to find the
information....
$ rpm -ql foo
$ less /usr/share/doc/foo-1.0/README
would still be my method of finding documentation.
