Hi, I was messing around with update-alternatives since I had a bunch of dangling symbolic links in my man pages for some reason. I think the dangling links may be related to the fact that I removed emacs and installed xemacs.
Basically I did the following really stupid thing: myhost:/etc/alternatives# foreach i (`ls`) > update-alternatives --auto $i > end Afterwards, it still seemed like I had some dangling links. Since there is currently no documentation for update-alternatives, could some one please explain what it is for? I thought I understood what it was for but since it didn't behave as expected I was hoping could tell me how and when to use it. Thanks. -Ossama ______________________________________________________________________ Ossama Othman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- PGP Keys --- Public: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_PUBLIC.asc REVOKED: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_REVOKED.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
