Hi Lane,
Great question .. lead me to look at the
"man man"
where I found the line:
"the default path list is found by consulting /etc/man.config."
Looking there I found:
"MANPATH /usr/man
MANPATH /usr/local/man
MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man
MANPATH /usr/lib/perl5/man"
Now doing a:
"locate man | less"
overwhelms you with a page by page listing of 5200+ listings. I don't
know how to get it to show "only" man rather than manual as well. But
you can wander thru the listings and see if you find something that you
think needs to be included in the man path statement.
OR you might look here:
http://www.google.com/linux?q=%22man+pages%22&num=30&site=search
Pick something you feel is left out and using the instructions in the
man man page and add your own listings. There are HTML, tarball, as well
as RPM's available for your viewing pleasure. Pretty kwel eh?
God Bless,
Sam
