* Reflect fact that project ships pages in sections 1-8. * Resync documentation of the basic Makefile targets with what they actually do at present. Slighly simplify discussion. * Put the man page overlaps into a table. + Drop references to overlaps with the old a.out ld.so, long dead. * Update reference to Announce file to use current naming convention. + Send people looking for copyright information there rather than duplicating some of it here. * Direct reader to the top-level homepage instead of more deeply to the "Contributing" page. * Reflow paragraphs to 72 columns.

README
This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8. Some more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file. Installing and uninstalling =========================== "make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. To install to a path different from /usr, use "make install prefix=/install/path". "make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this distribution from its destination. Use with caution, and remember to use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target. "make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make install". Man page overlap and duplication ================================ Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed in other packages. This has been reported about: man page also found in ------------------------------------- resolver.3 bind-utils, bind9utils resolv.conf.5 " passwd.5 shadow, passwd mailaddr.7 ? Copyrights ========== See the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file. Homepage ======== For much more about the Linux man-pages project, see < http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/index.html >.
