Subject: No man pages after installing bash
Hello,
I can't use man pages for some reason after I installed bash and login
using bash. I typed 'man dump' and it says that it can't find a manual
page for that.
I looked at some help on the web and there's a MANPATH but I'm not sure
what to set it to. I also looked at the /etc/man.conf but everything in
there should be the same as when I was using sh (csh). I don't know what
the problem is.
Thanks
Tim
