User Feedback :: 10 things I do not like about DSL

thanks for the tip
thiis is like a code for a Super Mario hidden world or something

not working, but,

bur got me thinking of the Nes

My biggest issue with DSL is lack of man pages. I've been using unix systems for over 20 years and have gotten into the habit of typing man xxx whenever I run across a commond or file I don't completely understand. In DSL this gets you a browser to a URL that doesn't exist, not terribly helpful.

I know there is not enough room for a complete man page suite on the CD, but it would be nice to have it available as a .dsl for HD installs, or even the online approach would work most of the time if it actually pointed at some place that had man pages.

Of course when I was first working with DSL I was trying to get wifi to work, online man pages wouldn't have helped much with that!

The net man utility works fine in 0.9.3
DSL cannot help if the manpage site goes down,
I think they told us in the change log that they had to change sites.
Anyways it working fine for me.

You can definitely install manpages. Busybox uses a web based lookup. Anyway, you can install manpages yourself. If you're using DamnSmall you're also using Debian. Look into it. =)
