how to install or enable man pages in Solaris 8

[johndog]

hi,
I recently installed Solaris 8 on my Sparc 5 and I think i may have skipped the installation of the manual pages and some other stuff like gunzip and tar....any way i can install these from the cd's after the installation has completed? Thanks!

John, do you get any message when you try to read a man page?

I've made the same mistake a few times. It's easy to correct. If you have a console running with CDE, just insert the second cd and a window will pop up. You'll be able to figure out from there what to do. If nothing else, you could do a pkgadd on all the packages on the CD.

I'll try the pkgadd command on the second cd. The error message that I get when i try to view a man page is "there is no manpage for (entered) command ". Thanks.
