seems I misunderstood your question - I thought you were looking for the
single-file version and tried to help. Sorry, won't happen again.

You won't hear protests from me. IMHO, we should redesign that page
completly. The page should contain the links to the split-html versions,
a link to seperate download page and a hint about /usr/share/doc. The
download page could contain that hint again and links to various versions
of the files. Something along the lines of

- The FDP Primer
  <tarball with single pages> <one big html file> <postscript> <pdf>
- The Porters Handbook
  <tarball with single pages> <one big html file> <postscript> <pdf>

(each <foo> being a link to the document in questions>

We should not use a table or users with text mode browsers will be lost.
