kmack Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 I don't know about others, but for me, reading the man pages in console mode is difficult. The longer the man page, the worse it is to figure out. I stumbled across a tip in old board docs by Tom Berger and it really helped. This tip is for the GUI oriented newbie crowd. If you are a real console user, it won't help you. :D Try using KDE Help reader ( the cute little red and white lifering icon on the launch panel) or via K--Documentation--Help. When it opens type the man page into the LOCATION spot. for example: man:man man:urpmi man:rpm It is easier to read, scroll, print and uses color to attract your attention to important items. Try it, I think you will like it! The man pages might even start to make sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
