I see, I must have been confused when the archive tried to open man and found it wasn't there. I wonder then why is the reference to man in the archive at all. Thank you for your help. And thank everyone for your help. This is a lively group!
Now, I find that when trying to mount /fd0 I get the error "can't find /fd0 in /etc/mtab or /etc/fstab I have edited /etc/fstab to include this line... /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,sync 0 0 as per the instructions I found at www.debian.org/~hp/tutorial/debian-tutorial.html however I get the same error message even after shutdown and reboot. I did not edit /etc/mtab because I can't figure out what I should put in the file. My mtab file now reads... /dev/hda1 / ext2 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 would I add to this in order to get fd0 to mount. If yes, where can I find information on what to add.
