They are tricky. Okay Mattias and all, I have just two days ago got my Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system stable with all the updates and latest Lazarus. Tested it with a blank project and it works great !!! :-))) How do I install the help for fpc. What is the trick???

The only reply I ever got was Mattias telling me that it is tricky and pointing me to 6 dozen documents on the website.

I did go to the documentation part of the site but could not find the appropriate document to read.

This is a good suggestion!!! Please investigate if it can be done.
