Here is the most important piece of advice for this stage of your

man innd
note this gives not results so,

2)rpm -qfi `locate innd`
or rpm -qfi `which commandname`
  (please note that these are backquotes)

3) http://www.linuxdoc.com

4)Look in /usr/doc/

5)Click on the desktop or lower desktop panel help icon.

6)Query this list.

Do your homework. Hope this helps all you newbies.
