I think this is because CHM is a MS-specific thing (embrace and 
"enhance"). But I will start my "freedom-rant" some other day :)

On google, I found these:
http://www.herdsoft.com/linux/themen/chmviewer.html
and
http://xchm.sourceforge.net/

I don't know which one I have used (it's been a while).
I should have put it on the LBo-wiki, then I could remember :)

So if you try out one and/or the other, please report back your 
experiences. Either to the list or to the wiki.
http://linuxbasics.org/tutorials/using/chm
would be a nice place :)

Thanks,

Stefan
