I no the first thing one of you is going to say upon reading this subject line is read the documentation, but that's what I need to install and that's why I need some good help from you people. I notice I have no output from which man so I thought I'd install man but when I look at aptitude I see an I next to some of the man packages does that mean their installed? If they are, where are they and how do I set my path? When I tried to install some documentation I saw a lot of packages with a P next to them what does that mean? When I hit the plus key to mark a package for installation, the letter next to it said PI what does that mean? Finally, what's the key command to show info about a package? Sean
