Hey gang,
I've notice a peculiar change to the familiar MAN pages on the new version of Mandrake. I wanted to look up some SMP stuff so I typed "MAN kernel" (I'm a bit rusty), and got a weird error.
"Syntax now WOman " This sounded strange to me but I though meh... I tell you, these new WOman pages are terrible! It used to be like "MAN automount" and then you've got your information. I typed "WOman kernel". Now this is weird, it said, "If you don't know what's wrong, I'm not going to tell you." I thought this was some kind of joke. I had some time, so I low-levelled and installed it again. I got the same..uh.. error? Anyways, I was able to get MAN SMP to work in the console with root access, but it didn't really get to the point, it was ambiguous, and generally frustrating to deal with.
I eventually gave up and climbed in a bottle of Dubonnet red. Anyone else have any WOman problems with Mandrake 9.1b ?
