Flaming Debian Newbies
Hello,
My personal opinion:- Flaming only wastes B/W and does nothing to help
the next 'Newbie' who hasn't joined the list yet. Why be nasty? A
single line "man('xzy')" reply direct to the poster (not via the list)
will get the message across if you want to help - delete it if you
don't..
Having said that, when I followed the instructions (from Debian.org) for
installing slink on my platform and finally got it to load, and logged
in, I found that I didn't have 'man'. It took more RTFM'ing and
figuring out the various things dselect was telling me before I tried
looking for a discrete 'man' package to D/L and install. At the
moment, having done some work on AIX, UnixWare and SCO, but never
before having installed any flavour of Unix, I'm wondering if there is
a Debian equivilent of 'smit' or 'sysadm' - no don't tell me - this is
one I know I'll figure out eventually, but the point is, right _now_, I
just don't know what I should be looking up or where.
Bye,
LeeE
