'Info' problem.

Hi. Man Pages use to stand: "complete manual is in an info doc format" or smthng. "If you have 'xxx' and info programs correctly installed, you should be able to see it."

Well. I´ve got properly installed dozens of programs and Info as well AND I just can´t see anything more than *manpages* of most programs.
I´ve also reinstalled info program.

Suggestions?
I understood that info files are in a docbook format. Am I right?

Thanks, in advance.

Not sure, just take a look at them and see.

You can run manpath to get the locations of all your man pages.

Info pages are usually viewed in a terminal, just run info, see what happens.

Hi, thx for replying.

I thought that I was clear: I get MANPAGES instead of INFO pages.... in terminal windows, of course.

I know that there´s much more tips and knowledge on those info pages.

...
Thanks again. Please help!

If you're using KDE, the info pages can be accessed by clicking on Help, and scrolling down.

....I´m still getting the same... (man pages instead info pages)

I get to know that in
/usr/share/....
there is some files that INFO DOES shows their contents.

Question is: How can i re-install those files that INFO reads?

Don´t remember their extension... but i think they are zipped (i guess).

THANKS!

Indeed many info pages have the same content of the manual pages. It is just another format to display them by means of different applications or to print them out in a number of formats using texinfo utilities.

The info source files are located in directories specified by the INFOPATH environment variable, e.g.
Almost all GNU applications provide an info page, usually placed in /usr/share/info. In my opinion one of the most useful is
which provides many more information than the manual page. Look at it and see if its content is different from "man date".
