"apt-get install manpages manpages-dev" will install a few manpages (1172 according to dpkg -L manpages manpages-dev|grep .gz|wc -l). These manpages are for sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. Other pages are available from other packages. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
