Well I just found out why I can't use the method : apt-get install man-db manpages or all the other versions of that string. The machine running Debian is NOT connected to the internet.
However, when I was installing the OS via floppies only, shouldn't the installation have installed "man" for me ? Or do you still have to install "man" after you install the system ? Therefore, could someone please tell me if there is a way to install "man" via floppies. I'm using an ancient 486 and it only has a hd and 1.44 floppy drive. I'd appreciate any help and thanks again to all those who replied to my previous message. Thanks at
