> I'm trying to install package man. I assume you mean you want the package that gives you the man command. This package is actually man-db, not man. > When I `apt-get install man` I get a message that states "E: package man > has no installation candidate." What does this mean? There is no Debian package called man, and the error above is apt's way of telling you that. Try `apt-get install man-db` instead. -gwen
