Subject: upgrade problems (FAQ's?), updatedb, man, man pages...
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 14:44:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4.1.19990219163313.00a40c30@mail.mum.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: < 18888.990219@is.lg.ua >
A few problems with an upgrade to 2.02,
1) When I run updatedb, I get an error that it doesn't like the file
"pagefile.sys" (who would!),
and after a long while, "empty database not created"
2) "nice updatedb" says
"nice: updatedb: No such file or directory"
3) I installed all the man pages, but no "man" command?
4) I am surprised that the man.1 pages are all in nroff;
but no nroff is a part of the standard distribution. How about .hlp or
.html or .rtf as a more portable and modern format?
Thanks,
Gregory Guthrie
