Certainly agree with you there.

How would I do that?  Unfortunately I have no experience whatsoever
with configuring docbook.  I've always just used a package manager to
install it.  Anyway, there's a `catalog` file in /etc/xml with the
following:

$ cat /etc/xml/catalog
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog
V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
  <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
uri="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/"/>
  <rewriteSystem
systemIdStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/"
rewritePrefix="/usr/share/xml/docbook/4.2/"/>
</catalog>

To my untrained eye there seems to be a local path in there but I have no idea.

Thanks for the help!
