Man pages are not part of the base installation (from 7 floppies). You have to download and install doc/man-db package + several others to satisfy dependencies (groff most notably). > And how can i get a standard ppp-connection....i've downloaded all the > ppp/slip packages and was wondering how to config them and use my > modem.... You would have to edit several files to fill them with your actual connection parameters: /etc/ppp.chatscript /etc/ppp.options_out and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (if you have to use PAP for authentication). That's just a pointer for a debian-specific part, read general Linux information on how to setup PPP from HOWTO's, manpages, etc. Good luck.
