thanks, I'll looked around /usr/share/apache2, /usr/share/php5, 
and /usr/share/doc/apache2.. all the doc files are .gz.. I'm sure there is a 
command to pcat those, but I'm not familiar with it.. Now this will have to 
wait for next weekend.. back to my wonderful full-time job with 10 hour days. 
at least it is work, though nowhere near IT..
