I run all of it, just not from the CD.

Is this from the command line, or from some other program, like Emacs?

There is a bug in the version of DJGPP.ENV file which comes with the
CD: it sets the environment variable MANPATH to X:/fsf/share/man,
whereas the man pages are copied into X:/fsf/man (where X: is the
drive letter where you instructed the installer to copy the files).
Just edit the file X:/fsf/djgpp.env and change the setting of MANPATH
(near the end of the file) to this:

MANPATH=%DJDIR%/man;%DJDIR%/info;%/>MANPATH%

After this, `man' should begin working.

Maybe after `man bash' works, you will be able to figure this out ;-).

If not, please post the details.
