Try to imagine the following scenario. Your server has had a disk crash and your
database needs media recovery. You look for the online doco and it is on the same disk that crased!

I guess Oracle would distribute it on CD-ROM and then it would not be a problem.
I would like to suggest to Oracle that WHEN (not IF) the start to distribute their documentation on-line, they include a hard copy of the DBA manuals with the
base product.
