That's unlikely. I changed the way the man wrapper was installed in
2.3.17-3.1, so something obviously broke there.

hello,
for a few days, when I type 'man xxx', I get the following error message :

However, I have installed manpages and man-db packages :

Package: man-db

hello, why don't you turn that option off in the bios? It will make life
a whole lot simpler. just a suggestion. don't let windows dictate what
you do with your computer.

maybe wrong but I just made a set of custom boot disks to include a speech

hello, lets start with pcmcia, do you have a laptop? ppp do you want to
get more packages then the ones on the base-disks, ie man and manpages.

installation process. ZIP drive, are you going to be installing from
this. if yes how do
Your new, to these boot disks, I remember when there was only five disks.
Now there is seven not including the boot disk you made. the man-db would
fit on a floppy, but what language are you going to put on it english?
what about everyone else. how hard is it to get the man-db file and the
manpage

hello, very simple. Man-db is not necessary to run linux. it is nice to
have but if you don't have man linux can still run. the other reason why
man is not included in the base distribution is the space issue.

I have just installed Debian 1.3. I am at present reading through the
Tutorial which I downloaded from the debian www site. Not having any
previous experience of Linux I need the Manual.
However if I enter say man cp I get back Bash: man: Command not
