Sounds good, but what about: 1) adding rm /usr/share/man/ to the appropriate Makefile(s). Is the issue the possibility of mucking up any port or third party app that also writes to /usr/share/man? 2) getting rid of catman and forcing man to generate a new one from scratch each time instead of filling up /usr/share/man/cat* with stale files. Is this going to be a big drain on a p4-era pc compared to something like another periodic.conf script? or 3) A compile or run-time option that disables catman as described above. If I knew of one, I'd enable it without a second thought on my cutting edge p3 desktop :) Doug Barton wrote: > On Sun, 28 Oct 2007, Andrew Lankford wrote: > >> Thbbt!
