is there a metapackage for textdoc that depends on the documentation for those packages that are installed?
Installing 'texlive-texdoc' gives me /bin/texdoc but not the documentation itself. Figuring out which packages do have documentation that could be displayed with texdoc and installing them manually doesn't seem to be a good option.
As I understand it, texdoc is a TeXLive-specific program for finding documentation on a particular package in a TeXLive installation. For example texdoc amsmath brings up (on my laptop) "User guide for AMSmath package". Also texdoc texdoc brings up a texdoc tutorial (by the author of texdoc).
Note that you must have the relevant TeXLive doc file installed, eg sudo yum install texlive-amsmath-doc* I note that if I ran sudo yum install texlive-*doc it would take up 1GB of space (which I don't have to spare!)
