User Feedback :: man command does not work

Sorry, if this forum is not appropriate for this issue; found no better place.

I have a fresh installation of DSL3.1 on a 486/66. Everything went smoothly. I don't use X (yet) due to an exotic graphic card. So I'm working in textmode exclusively.

The problem: When I launch any man command, e. g. 'man ls', the command never returns and complains:

ls: /KNOPPIX//bin/ls: No such file or directory

Error: No data read

What did I do wrong?

Thanks for any hint.

check to see if you are connected to the internet.

I just started using DSL on monday, but I think that it trys to get all man pages off the internet, so that might be the problem....

I'm not. Thanks a lot!

Is there a way to setup a "local" system with no internet connectivity?

Yes, it does use the internet to get the pages.

There's an extension for some offline man pages in mydsl.

I'm going to go ahead and ask a question for him.

How would he get the Mydsl man onto his computer from a command line, and with no internet connection?
