Other Help Topics :: Man pages only open in links (browser)



Is there any way to fix that?  They don't actually display completely in the browser, either; just some text that says "If this page is not displayed, click here."
I don't get any error messages, so I assume the pages have all been installed.
Is there anything that I can do to fix this, so the man pages display correctly on the commandline (without links!) ?

Thank you --

DSL doesn't have man...it's a shell script that loads online html-formatted man pages into a browser.
The latest version doesn't use links or a browser.
It uses wget and the less pager.

Code Sample
dsl@box:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/man
#!/usr/bin/perl
# man utility substitute

# made to use Wget and Less in place of Links now Dec 15, 2005
use strict;


Wow, very clever!

Hmm...I got DSL 2.0 from the coverdisk of one of my linux mags this month...methinks they were slightly behind the times!

However, this still means that I can only get at the man pages when I'm online.  Which sucks, as I need help with the commands that are supposed to *get* me online.  :(

Well, at least I know now that it's not something I did wrong.  Thanks very much to all!
