Hello,

I've been looking at the way Man Pages are installed on my LFS system, and
comparing this to what FHS-2.3 recommends and came up with some
observations/questions:

* FHS-2.3 recommends that man pages be installed under
  /usr/share/<mandir>/<locale>. Some packages actually do install their
  man pages this way, but man-pages 2.01,(LFS-6.1) installs in
  /usr/share/man--which, I guess, is the traditional place to have them.

* Other than man[1-8], I'm seeing man0p, man1p, man3p, and man9! man1p
  has user programs, like date, cat, du ... Is there a reason why they
  are not in man1, for example?

* I'm thinking or reorganizing the man directory and moving all man pages
  under /usr/share/man/<locale>. Any thoughts or reflections?

Regards,

Tarek.
