I know that the docs that I want are available at the Gentoo Documentation Site, but are there PDF or PS versions of them?

Printing the webpages is generally not an attractive solution, since the web pages are wider than the paper.

I guess pulling down offline versions of the documentation would be one option. But I am lazy, dammit!

Thanks for any help.

Jeff

There is a project in embryonic stages to deal with this. If you're interested in helping out, please post in this thread.

If you have lynx emerged you can always dump the doc you want to a local html file, e.g:
Code:
lynx -dump -source 'http://www.gentoo.org/doc/faq.html' > faq.html


Then convert html to the format you want (e.g: for pdf you can use htmldoc).
