Ah so.

Correct. Without looking at it, I'd guess Mandrake puts man pages under /usr/share/man, but the Makefile thinks they live in /usr/man. Failing that, does /usr/man/man8 exist? If all fails, you could just copy the manual page into place manually: # gzip fbset.8 If /usr/man/man8 exists: # cp fbset.8.gz /usr/man/man8 Or, if /usr/share/man/man8 is the place: # cp fbset.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8 Kurt _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
