I converted my `man' to search local so long ago I couldnt remember I'd done it, or how, so searched & found I had: /etc/csh.cshrc: setenv MANPATH \ '/usr/share/man:/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/doc:' > On the other hand it would be nice if the man page would appear > without having to change the default options. Agreed. I can't imagine many people run FreeBSD without ports, & even the few minimalist systems that do, I can't imagine it will hurt if man command also finaly looks in /usr/local/man > Should I mark the bug as closed because it is not a real bug? > Or should I leave it untouched because the behaviour is not as expected? Well I'm coming in late, it was really just to point you at xrandr, (& even more so, to `arandr' which helped me when I got stuck on xrandr syntax) I haven't read your bug report, but if youve submitted a diff to man to look in local would seem a good idea, would make FreeBSD more initially useful to lots of newcomers. > Kind regards, > Christoph Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix Sys.
