Thanks Xavier. Fedora doesn't have a non-free section, although
people use other repositories such as RPMFusion which ship packages
that are legally difficult to ship for all sorts of reasons.
"Content" is stuff like clip art, fonts and things and apparently it's
not suitable for documentation.
We'll drop the documentation for now.
Rich.
