Here's what man firefox causes:

"ls: /KNOPPIX//usr/local/bin/firefox no such file"

I don't know if this is supposed to happen.. That path prefix /KNOPPIX// seems to be hard-coded in..
So, how can I remove that? Or does it require a recompile?

Ps. Yes, it's a Debian-type install

I think the problem is in /usr/local/bin/man, line 40:
$ls_l = `ls -l /KNOPPIX/$info[1]`;

I'm guessing that it should work if you remove "/KNOPPIX/", but I'm not sure exactly what it's trying to do.

I'll try that when I get home today.
Is the man program a script?

If that fixes it, it should become a part of the next release, non-working manual is a thing that sucks..

Yes, it's an online-only perl script made to replace the bulky man application (bulky when you include the necessary man pages, groff, etc., anyway).

Yea that fixed that. I don't have net access to my dsl desktop now, so the pages still won't show up :laugh:

Well, are you going to modify the hd-install script to remove the /KNOPPIX/?
