You can download the doc as a tar from the following URL:

https://gitlab.com/kicad/services/kicad-doc/-/archive/6.0.0-rc1/kicad-doc-6.0.0-rc1.tar.bz2

You can also change the "bz2" to "gz" if you prefer that format.

BTW, I've made the 6.0.0-rc1 builds for Fedora Rawhide, but they haven't been picked up by the mirrors yet.

I will not make 6.0.0 builds for Fedora 34 / 35 etc, because it is against policy to have a major version change on those.  Thus Fedora 36 (in about 6 months) will be the first one that ships a 6.0.0 build.
