# Installation of selected docs (html)
The latest release has around 560 files (over 2MB) in html.
Any suggestions or ideas on limiting what html is installed?
For example, I don't see value in every ikiwiki install out there to also install personal "users" ikiwiki pages.
For now I copy ikiwiki.setup. And then use pax with -L switch to copy the targets of the symlinks of the basewiki.
I was thinking of making a list of desired documents from the html directory to install.
