Hi i have installed slack 10.2 with 1CD only. And "man" command do not work (no help). Can somebody say how to fix it (maybe it is in one of the *.tgz is 1CD, but i did not find it).
what is the output of "ls /var/log/packages/man*" ?
if there's nothing, install the packages "/man-1.5p-i486-1" and "man-pages-1.64-noarch-1"
from the cd
If you installed man (and the man pages) and get an error, you might need to instal tetex from the 't' directory:
Quote:
tetex: tetex (teTeX binaries and support files)
tetex:
tetex: This package contains the binaries and support files required for the
tetex: teTeX TeX distribution, such as input files for TeX, runtime
tetex: configuration files, hyphenation tables, manpages, and the computer
tetex: modern fonts.
