There are some documents in the DSL downloads.

But it would be better to provide the help inside the DSL distro as available normally in big distributions so that a user can start with DSL.

The content of dillo popping up inside DSL can be made more simple and extended and it would be given as a document.

Also some thing for the commands and configurations can be added.

Is that a good idea?

Um, the DS in DSL stands for "Damn Small"... Hinting at the design goal of not being like the big distributions.

That includes superfluous documentation that's better suited for the wiki, forums, and google.

It wont take much space for documentation, thats what i actually mean.

If not possible atleast we can have that in Documentation folder in downloads section.
