Perhaps you should install the man pages, then :-) Run /stand/sysinstall as root and go the post-install config menu, select distributions, and grab the man pages distribution. You'll need some small amount of free space under /usr (on my oldest system, which is 3.2-R, the man pages and the cat man pages for the base system occupy about 13 megs. You can omit the cat man pages, you can squeeze some extra space out if you're really short). I suspect the man pages might have been slightly smaller in 2.2.7, but I don't recall. > so Hmmmmmm. > I do have version 3.3 installed on another box that I have been messing with > but I am not to deep into yet, I just installed it last night that went ok > so I can at least look at the man pages there, any other suggestions.
