[Lazarus] How to install local copy of RTL/FCL/LCL documentation (from CCR)?

[Chris Kirkpatrick]

You can get a (nearly!) nightly build of all the html docs at
ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/

There will be a file called
fpc-lazarus-doc-html-20080902.tar.bz2
(It's actually a couple of weeks since it was last updated - the numbers 
obviously give the date, but when all is working correctly it happens 
almost nightly).

Regards - Chris
