Oh no. List stuff gets sent to the list, that's where *you* put it
first, moaning for succor.
Your well reconsidered reply might (to your own advantage) have been:
"You presume I have manpages on my servers. I don't. Please advise me
how to obtain them".
But I don't want them. 99.99% of the time every bit
of info I ever need comes via Google.
Okay, I exaggerate... 95+%
Everybody who installs Sam's stuff, either through rpms or source code,
gets man pages. *Unix/Linux people can not work without man pages* - or
derived html stuff.
I first installed courier 6 or 7 years ago. I spent
required manpage reading time at that point but I
can't remember everything, and it's not realistic
to have to trawl thru them all over again every year
or so to find what's different.
Why do you not have them?
I use my own trimmed down Debian distro on a variety
of servers, some are semi-embedded, rather than hop
around servers and realize I do or do not have man
pages available I just eliminated them altogether to
save myself confusion as to whether they will be
available or not.
Over the years I have just naturally drifted towards
using google for everything because the quality of
the returned results is, generally, so much higher.
Man pages rarely have examples and hardly ever explain
WHY some command, or aspect of a command, should be
used.
FWIW... I guess.
Yep.
