Hello,

We (me and friends from Fazlamesai.net) proposed Featherlinux a shell script that would download and view needed man pages if the Internet connectivity is available (and this process looks exactly the same as using man to the user) also caching the allready downloaded pages so it will not to needless downloads.

This may be very useful for lean mean distros like DSL or others, which could not otherwise afford to use space for man pages and still be helpful to the users by supplying man pages.

I hope you like it
