#1072: Remove QGIS guide docs
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------

     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new                      
 Priority:  minor     |   Milestone:  OSGeoLive7.0             
Component:  LiveDVD   |    Keywords:  qgis, 7.0                
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 QGIS currently includes the docs "A Gentle Introduction to GIS" and the
 "QGIS User Guide" on OSGeo-Live.

 I propose to remove them locally, and reference the current version on the
 web instead.

 My reasons are:
 * We should only provide the docs which are specific to OSGeo-Live, and
 fit with OSGeo-Live templates, such that we maintain a consistent look and
 feel.
 * Readers will typically go to the web anyway in order to get the most
 recent versions of these docs.
 * This will reduce the number of files we need to think about maintaining
 and keeping up to date.
 * We should be looking out for ways to save space (although the space
 saving from docs will be minimal)

 I've removed reference to these docs from the QGIS Quickstart.
