PCmenu -> Documentation or

Please note: You do not necessarily need to download and install this release if you have been keeping up with your updates on a 2011.09 KDE 4 install. This is mainly for those new to PCLinuxOS KDE so they don't have so many downloads to perform to get updated to current status.
that's it, have fun!
