(2.2.1) i did re-install my manpages, even redownloaded them, but the problem has to be in the bin dist ... all my perms are fine with man and it's directories ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sleep: a sign a caffeine deprivation ... http://www.anchorage.net/~un_x ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
