You probably need to run '/etc/cron.daily/man-db' as root. If your system is on full-time then cron should do this for you; otherwise, install anacron. (There was a bug in the version of man-db in woody that meant the installation process didn't do this automatically. Sorry.) > 3 - How do I go backwards in a man page reading?

Try installing 'less' instead; it's a better pager in other ways anyway. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
