Subject: upgrade problems (FAQ's?), updatedb, man, man pages...
In-Reply-To: <18888.990219@is.lg.ua>
Mime-Version: 1.0

A few problems with an upgrade to 2.02,

1)  When I run updatedb, I get an error that it doesn't like the file
"pagefile.sys" (who would!),
and after a long while,  "empty database not created"

2) "nice updatedb" says 
  "nice: updatedb: No such file or directory"

3) I installed all the man pages, but no "man" command?

4) I am surprised that the man.1 pages are all in nroff; 
   but no nroff is a part of the standard distribution. How about .hlp or
.html  or .rtf as a more portable and modern format?

Thanks,

Gregory Guthrie
