Hmm. The "man" command is definitely in the man-db package. First, type this (as root): # apt-get update It should download lots of files. Now try "apt-get install man-db". If that doesn't work, then it can't find the package database; somehow your /etc/apt/sources.list file may have been corrupted. Edit that file and make sure this line is in there, at least: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free Now try the update and install again. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
