Is it possible to print out the aptitude manual [aptitude~>help~>user's manual] in ubuntu or debian. I just find it a pain trying to take in reading .txt just from a screen. I've got aptitude(8) from man aptitude in terminal. I was hoping it might have been transferred to a pdf somewhere.
Man pages are often available in HTML format on the Web. For example, Googling for aptitude man page gave this: http://www.annodex.net/cgi-bin/man/man2html?aptitude+8 Personally, I would stick with screen reading, though. Once you've printed it you'll inevitably find that you don't need it after a few hours. Also, I, for one, wouldn't have any objections to you asking questions about aptitude (or other related stuff) here :-) Cheers, Richard -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis http://www.richard-lewis.me.uk/ JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +-------------------------------------------------------+ |Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.| |http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html | +-------------------------------------------------------+
