Hi Neil, thank you for the inofrmation! :)) I am currently on the way of installing texlive completly and I cannot get enough documentation about it... So I thought, that "doc" was a good idea...but iw seems not to be... I will switch it off again. On the other side: Not being able to install docs globally seems to be a logical problem (beside being useless...), which needs to be fixed...right? Best regards, mcc
