Is there an equivalent site to retrieve what would be displayed by the

TIA

Most programs which have additional information in info pages (or no man
pages at all) are GNU software, so it might be a good idea to start with

http://www.gnu.org/manual/

One of the few programs I know which are not properly documented with
man but info is GRUB. The page above leads you directly to the GRUB
documentation which looks similar to the info page to me.

Also, you can google "GNU Info Pages online" without quotes. I just
found http://linux.about.com/od/lts_guide/a/gdelts69t02.htm by entering
that query which also suggests the first page I have mentioned.

You are right on so many counts ;)

I was looking, this time, for information on GRUB. I had done a half dozen Google searches, but with poor choice of keywords.

Thank you.
