Hello I'm with mike on info pages. I have trouble backtracking in info. Instead of just hitting back arrow like in lynx, its sometimes its b for backward, and p for previous. (Do they have a u for Up as well? I can't remember.)
Also, I always use the id-utils on a box, but for the life of me, I haven't been able to get the id-utils info pages incorporated in the main info database. Yes, I've read the docs. Its supposed to be simple, but I couldn't get it to insert in the index like its supposed to. The words appear there, but selecting the topic doesn't open the actual file. Man and apropos are your friend. I'm not so sure about info especially since I'm way more familiar with VI than Emacs.

Not to start a who'e 'emacs' vs 'vi' battle, but I don't know the emacs bindings, so 'info' is pretty much unusable for me. The navigation makes very little sense. I'd be happy with lynx being able to be used to read info files. I suppose it's gotten to the point that most newbies are using the GUI displays for info pages, but I simply cannot use them on an X-less box. I really don't see the need for info pages. The OpenBSD man pages are the best I've ever seen. I'm not sure why Linux couldn't just stick to man pages (hrm, STTFMP). Mike -- "Let the power of Ponch compel you!
