Hi Mary, There shouldn't be any man pages in the root_archive. I checked the manifest used for building the Live CD, none of the man page directories are included. When you look at things from /usr in the Live CD's desktop, /usr is actually mounted from the user.zlib archive from the live CD, they are not from the boot_archive.
