Information not on relavant man page - where to find on WEB?
Man pages generally do not include information some users
would find vital.
In fact
http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=intro&sektion=1&apropos=0&manpath=Debian+6.0+squeeze&title=Introduction%20Section%201
explicitly states in part:
"... Man pages are terse, and allow you to find quickly
some forgotten detail. For newcomers an introductory text
with more examples and explanations is useful."
and later states:
"A lot of GNU/FSF software is provided with info files."
I often do not have available a functioning Linux system,
thus my need for web based source of information.
My current problem is proper use of dpkg-scanpackages. I
need examples of its typical and atypical use. I need those
to give me the background for a sensible question.
Pointers please.
TIA
