Boot up the system and log in as root. Then run sysinstall. Select Custom -> Distributions -> Custom. From there you can select the man distribution. Then OK your way back until sysinstall actually installs the man pages. I expect you selected a "minimal" install when you installed, which doesn't include man pages. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
