Thank you for your reply. :-)
Why is that any different than running /stand/sysinstall and choosing the same?
That's what I did, I feed it my CD1, and it consumed several megabytes of hard
disk space installing stuff:
root at p166v:~# find / -name man
/usr/bin/man
/usr/local/man
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/man
/usr/share/openssl/man
/usr/share/perl/man
/usr/share/man
root at p166v:~# du /usr/share/man | tail -n 1
8740 /usr/share/man
root at p166v:~# du /usr/local/man | tail -n 1
302 /usr/local/man
root at p166v:~# l /usr/share/man
./ cat4/ en.ISO8859-1/ man3/ man9/
../ cat5/ en.ISO8859-15@ man4/ whatis
cat1/ cat6/ ja/ man5/
cat1aout/ cat7/ man1/ man6/
cat2/ cat8/ man1aout/ man7/
cat3/ cat9/ man2/ man8/
root at p166v:~# l /usr/share/man/man1/man*
/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/manpath.1.gz
root at p166v:~# man 1 man
No entry for man in section 1 of the manual
The man pages are there; man isn't finding them. Is there a man configuration
file somewhere I need to fix?
root at p166v:~# find / -name 'man*' | grep conf
/etc/manpath.config
/usr/share/examples/etc/manpath.config
Any suggestions?
David
