some problems after upgrading 9.1 to 10.0


Hi!
Yesterday I finally could find a while to upgrade from slack 9.1 to 10.0, I followed the instructions given by P Volkerdi and I made a stupid mistake: with my 9.1 system I was using the 2.6.6 kernel for mounths (compiled by me), so when I upgraded every package and tried to boot I couldn't.
It seemed that the kernel coming with slack 10.0 erased my 2.6.6 modules, or simply that slack kernel hadn't the proper options for my system.

Anyway, I decided to install the "new" 2.6.9 (it wasn't necesary, but by the way...) and everything was ok; at least I could get and operational system!

However up to now I found out some problems:
1) I cannot access man pages; for instance after typing "man cp" I get
Code:
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/man && (echo ".ll 9.9i"; echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/man/man1/cp.1.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -S -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -is) exited with status 256.
No manual entry for cp
but the file containing the manpage is on my system.

2) command "less" doesn't work at all

3) I cannot change the font in Konsole. Well, to be honest I do have three options, but not the one I had/like (this is the less important thing).

At the moment these are the problems I found, but surely I'll find more in next days...

Anyone can help me????
I don't know how much time I will live without manpages and without "less"
TIA

Regards

Thank you very much!
yep, it solved first two problems (and some others ); the problem with "Konsole" is still there. When I try to change the font it complains, saying something like (I'm translating)
Code:
Font `-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1' wasn't found.
Read README.linux.console for help.
but I don't have such file, nor anything close.
Anyone with the same problem??

Regards
