|
|
|
|
<P>Many programs come with some sort of documentation, often in a file called
|
|
README or something similar. It is a VERY good idea to read them with
|
|
care. It is boring to see (and answer) questions that are answered in
|
|
the documentation. Most programs also have ``man pages''; use the command
|
|
<CODE>man programname</CODE> to get documentation on a program named
|
|
<CODE>programname</CODE>. To get help using the man program, use
|
|
<CODE>man man</CODE>.
|
|
<P>Most distributions put other documentation about programs in the
|
|
directory /usr/doc/; your distribution should include documentation
|
|
on how to access that documentation.
