That's why I wrote in my very first message in this thread: =E2=8C=9CDistribute Emacs with the cache preloaded with Info files=E2=8C=9D And later, in a reply to you: =E2=8C=9CEmacs releases can come with the appropriate files preloaded (an= d pinned) in the cache=E2=8C=9D And in yet a later reply to you, after you replied to the previous one: =E2=8C=9Cput the manuals in the cache (preload them there in Emacs releas= es), and pin them there=E2=8C=9D IOW, users don't have to do anything. The manuals come preloaded. When yo= u download Emacs, the manuals come with it, just like they do now. When y= ou download a package that has a manual, it can put the manual in the sam= e place where Emacs's manuals are: the cache. And pin it there. And so we don't go in circles anymore, I'll again quote a reply I wrote t= o you: =E2=8C=9Cyou're saying the manuals should be put in a different place P t= han the browser's cache C. ... what's the advantage of having P and C be = different?=E2=8C=9D
