[Jason Cook <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for doing this. I agree that a PPA would be much easier. I just could
not figure out how to create a PPA nor did I have a desktop computer to
update it automatically. If it helps at all the script the I used for
downloads Is:

#!/bin/bash
#Set Variables
#Language Code
language=$@
#Download location
location=`cat /usr/share/ubuntu-manual-download-config`

echo "Started Download" > /tmp/manual-download

#if /usr/share/ubuntu-manual-download-config is empty what should be done
while [ "$location" = "" ]; do
 echo -e "Please enter the location to to download the manual to: \c "
read location
 echo
echo "To avoid this promt in the future please specify the location in
/usr/share/ubuntu-manual-config"
done

#if /usr/share/ubuntu-manual-download-config is non-existent what should be
done
while [ "$location" = "cat: /usr/share/ubuntu-manual-download-config: No
such file or directory" ]; do
 echo -e "Please enter the location to to download the manual to: \c "
read location
 echo
echo "To avoid this promt in the future please specify the location in

done

#go to download location
