Don't do that! Let the packages move the pages for you and just make sure man knows all the directories that pages can be found in. Unless you've set the MANPATH environment variable the default will be taken from /etc/manpath.config. If you're using Slink with some Potato packages installed the best thing to do is probably to upgrade to the Potato version of man-db which changes /etc/manpath.config appropriately. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
