Hi Michelle,

Thanks for clarifying !

Users (read students) keep complaining that the LiveCD doesn't have 
manual pages. Difficult to explain the Linux generation, why a bunch of 
documents cannot be re-distributed :-)

Looking forward for the rest of the man pages and thanks for the hard work !

Cheers,
Ananth
