man1 .. man9


Now because tripwire (amongst other programs tries to install into non-existent man directories ie man5 and man8 and redhat only has man1) run this command to make sure these dirs exist.

mkdir /usr/man
perl -e 'mkdir "/usr/man/man$_" for 1..9'
ls /usr/man
man1 man2 man3 man4 man5 man6 man7 man8 man9
$

odd that some programs simply assume that manX will exist and don't do a -p but.....they do.

If you don't do this now a whole lot of the software we are about to intall will partially choke. By partially choke I mean they will install but the man pages won't. So when you man widget it won't bloody well work. Do it now. I'll wait ;-)
