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 # written for Damn Small Linux by John Andrews March 07, 2004 # 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!Next Page...
