Slackware manpages to PDA?


Hey all. I have a Palm Tungsten E running Palm OS ver 5. I have tried going to AvantGo to get my overal goal accomplished to no avail. The problem is that I want to get the linux manpages onto my Palm PDA device for reference purposes. I have more than enough memory so that isn't a concern. I just need to be able to either code a page and upload to my PDA or find a site with the manpages already on it and let AvantGo Subscription Channel take over or something. The sad part about AvantGo is that they are a browser, but don't allow you to just upload your own page. I know part of the reason has to be that the code won't be resolution-compliant, but I'm no stranger to HTML and don't believe I'd have a hard time getting this done. The Quick Install icon on both Windows and Mac will not upload the html file I've created since, as it states, it's not a Palm-compliant file. I've tried other third-party utilities such as Plucker and "Missing Sync" for OS X, but neither seem to offer what I need. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

The man pages are available from tld, the documentation project, in several formats

Thanks for that. I've been to tldp.org before but didn't realize the translated guides before. I'm still a bit stuck on how to manually code a page (320 resolution for Palms?) and get it to the PDA. I have Plucker and have uploaded some of those translated guides, but I'm wanting to create my own. I guess there's some sort of way to view the source of these created guides for the Palm. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction for getting this done?
