Run "make dvi" to generate a DVI version of the manual.

Run "make ps" to generate a PostScript version of the manual.

Run "make pdf" to generate a PDF version of the manual.

Obviously you'll need various extra tools installed on your system for
this to work.

You can specify a path when you use "g", or you can set your
Info-default-directory (or something, I forget the exact variable name).
I think you can even do it through Customize now, so it's super-simple.

Anyway, the Emacs manual will tell you all about this.
