One thing undocumented(7) does is suggest some other ways to find documentation. While this looses its attraction after a few viewings, it can be very helpful for new users who aren't familiar with the range of documentation formats used by Debian. It's also a lot quicker than having man-db rebuild the index files only to tell you it can't find anything. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
