+
+<para>
+The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in your
+/usr/doc/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but
+they tend to be more in depth than just explaining the options to a
+program.

+
+<sect3><title>install-info</title>
+
+<para>
+The install-info program updates the info entries. When you run the info
+program a list with available topics (ie: available info documents) will
+be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
+available topics. If you decice to remove info files manually, you need
+to delete the topic in the index file as well. This program is used for
+that. It also works the other way around when you add info documents.
