Well, you could try to re-install the system manual pages (because it seems to me that those are missing): sysinstall - Custom - Choose Distributions - Custom and check the man - System manual pages distribution set. -Matti ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

i remember a thread from a few weeks back, that i followed closely, but was never able to resolve my issue as the original poster did. i have a 6.1-STABLE system that the bulk of my mans to not work, but some that are recently installed from ports are working. can someone guide me thru trouble shooting this issue? i have several other boxes that are RELENG, and they all ahve 100% working man pages, but this system (which is also my only system with x/kde) is the only one not working.
