The system where I'm working on the cd-rw, does not have a man page for cdrecord. It has the exact same USE flags as that another system (including 'doc') has that does have the man page for cdrecord. I thought that if the USE flag 'doc' was in /etc/make.conf, then all man pages get installed???? So, pretty lame, but that's why I missed the cdrecord man page. I did not think there was one... Any ideas how to get ALL of the man pages possible to all of the installed software on a gentoo system? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
