man pages in AIX

Hi all.

A friend of mine just recently gave me an old RISC 6000 machine to learn on for my AIX certification. I installed AIX 4.3.3 and everything seems to work fine, except there are no man pages. Is there a way to generate man pages on this machine?

Thanks alot in advance.

Install the package bos.rte.man.

copy it to a directory, cd to there, run "inutoc ." to generate the .toc-file, then run "smitty install_latest" and select "." as installation directory.

Install the bos.rte.man package; from where????

I've just gone through all of the AIX CD's, and Bonus pack as well as the base and extended documentation CD's.

I can not find that package anywhere!

Could you please let me know where I should look to find this elusive beast?

Ta.

If you have AIX installation CDs it should be on Disk 1, you can get it from IBMs software maintenance site too, just go to

http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/suppo...t=&fixtype=ptf

type in "bos.rte.man" and download what comes up. Install that the way i have explained above.

Hi,
I installed the package bos.rte.man, but I dont know where it find, for copy it to a directory and follow the instructions:

"copy it to a directory, cd to there, run "inutoc ." to generate the .toc-file, then run "smitty install_latest" and select "." as installation directory."

Thanks alot in advance.

This was meant as a shortcut-installation procedure. If you have it installed already you can forget that.
