missing tutorial for emacs 21.3

Where can I find a copy of the Tutorial for emacs 21.3? I know it should be
found at /usr/share/emacs/21.3/etc/TUTORIAL, but I can't find it anywhere on
my computer. Emacs appears to work fine otherwise. If it matters, I
installed Emacs when installing Mandrake 10.0 and did not do it manually.
thank you.

What happens when you invoke C-h t?

If this does not find the tutorial then Mandrake left them away or put 
them into another package. It's probably easy to extract them from an 
Emacs source archive (tar zxf <Emacs src>.tar.gz emacs-21.3/etc) and 
move the TUTORIAL files to their right place.

You need to install emacs-doc - for *some* reason the tutorials
together with NEWS aren't included in the base emacs package - why
you'd want one without the other I don't know!

(urpmi emacs-doc)

Eric, you've posted TWO copies of your message almost literally the same,
one after the other.  The second copy was boring.  Together with all the
MIME trash, that has reduced your signal/noise ratio by a factor of ~4.

How about turning off all the MIME garbage options and posting in plain
text like a normal hacker?

Thanks in advance!
