Well, the way I understand it, all the English man pages are put in /usr/share/man and the rest (if the package even has any in another language) are put in its own directory. I don't think --mandir=/usr/share/man/en would work since if a package did contain other man page languages, then they would get stuck in /usr/share/man/en/es for example. While you could move them if you caught it, what's the point either way? I show a mere ~285 (266 actual man pages, the rest are symlinks) other language man pages compared to ~8734 (7299 actual man-pages) English man pages. Would moving all the English ones really accomplish anything? -- Kevin Jordan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
