Kiwix is generally distributed and bundled with a content package. This package may be the content from Wikipedia, Ubuntu documentation or any other online contents been build for Kiwix.<br> | |||
You'll see the '''Help page''' (the current page) after launching Kiwix and at the program start-up, unless you have installed a content package before which in that case you should see the content's '''default page'''.<br> | |||
Kiwix content packages, called '''''ZIM files''''', are not belonged to Kiwix.
