Siju, First: Understand *why* qt3-mt was installed. Since Qt is a toolkit for building X11 GUIs, it is likely it is installed as a dependency for some other application. If you don't know what it does, use: $ pkg_info -D qt3-mt If you want to know what application has it as a dependency, use: $ pkg_info -R qt3-mt Second: Determine if you *need* Qt man pages. If it was a dependency, you probably will never be executing any of its five utilities, nor developing applications that make any of its four hundred and sixteen library calls. Third: Read the man.conf(5) man page. It describes the structure and syntax for the configuration file. Fourth: Read the existing /etc/man.conf file. Note the section headed by this comment line: # Other sections that represent complete man subdirectories. Fifth: Place your new entry in that section. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
