Is that not sufficient? I wondered this myself... I just assumed that man put the cached version in the same path it found the original, with the last man translated to cat. : What's the goal of doing this? I missed the original thread. Make it possible to have a read only /usr and still cache man pages. However, CPU time is so cheap that we should install the CAT versions or run catman at the end of installworld. I know that NetBSD and OpenBSD both build and install the cat pages. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
