Lucky you! :) Man pages don't appear at all for me. I upgraded from 7.2 to 8.0 (with only KDE) and when I try to display one the screen clears and (END) appears at the bottom. When I 'quit' I see '/usr/bin/nroff: invalid option -c'.
Quite baffling and I have no idea how to resolve it. Any tips would be appreciated. On Saturday 18 January 2003 07:52 am, Michael Pelley wrote: > I have the same thing happening!
