Hi, > > How do i generate a whatis database in Debian Linux? I dont have the whole Mail with the question, but in Debian you dontneed to run mkwhatis. mandb is building its own database for apropos and whatis everytime new pages are detected. Of course yu can rerun mandb to rebuild this index. Greetings Bernd -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org .
