common commands not working
As a new debian user I was suprised @ how easy the installation of 1.3 went... not a hitch. However, when I issue the man command to explore the manual pages I get a bad command message. same for apropos. Is this related to the Packages and the dselect utility.Please point me in the right direction. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

If you accept dselect's choices, and run through the install phase, you should have the man pages, as well as many other common unix utilities / commands. Note, the installation of the base disk doesn't include the man pages. Brandon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I had a problem with the configuration file having a strange bit added to the end of it. I simply renamed it, removing the text, and man worked from then on. The text was something about debian new user. Later, Marc -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
