Linux man pages

The command : ls -R /usr/share/man/ > list-man.txt

.. will save a text file in /home/<name>/
with your installed man pages.

.....

but how can i get those manpages text in bundle for downloading??

thanks

I don't know if there is a bundle for them. I'm sure you could write a script, but it would probably be easier just to get them manually

Are you saying you do not have man on your system ?

You don't. These manuals are already installed on
your Linux OS.
Use the terminal window : Please type : man <command>
And you will see the man page as text for that "command".

Or just read online : http://linux.die.net/man/
.....

Its better if u use -a option with man command.

Once when i used ubuntu 8.04, I didn't have man pages pre-installed on my system ! I downloaded a tar ball of man pages and then installed them in my computer..

U can try downloading them from here and install them:

the package you're looking for is manpages-dev. it installs section 2 and 3.

Download through synaptic/apt-get.
