The LibO installation procedure with separate Help packages is a little unusual and should be mentioned on "Installation of LibreOffice" to avoid bug reports like Bug 56445

I have taken this one to the marketing team so that we can take a look at it and place the mention in the right place.

Alas we will never be able to avoid bug reports due to people not reading the available information (I fall in that trap myself too ;-) )

Done.

I used the following text for the Win and Mac pages:

"A reminder that, in addition to the "Main Installer", you will have to download the "LibreOffice built-in help" package which is separate from the "Main Installer". You can use LibreOffice without this package, however, it will then go to the "Help" page on our website instead. A separate "Help" package makes it possible to keep the "Main Installer" significantly smaller for downloading purposes."

I used the following text for the Linux pages. The reason is that it was not written up in the same way the Win/Mac pages were written.

"At this point, you may also want to to install the "LibreOffice built-in help" package which is separate from the installation package. You can use LibreOffice without this package, however, it will then go to the "Help" page on our website instead. A separate "Help" package makes it possible to keep the installation package significantly smaller for downloading purposes."

Cheers,
