	Powers that be?  If you read lnx-bbc-devel, you'd see that
Seth David Schoen has written a remote-downloading man page viewer
that will soon grab cat pages from the Web.  We genuinely do lack
space on the LNX-BBC for man pages, and most man pages can be found by
googling for "ifconfig SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION".

	At any rate, once you're up on the net, you'll soon be able to
read man pages.  I don't think anyone here (except for maybe Niall)
believed that everyone should just memorize command-line switches or
anything.

	Anyway, we've been putting out some build fires in CVS lately,
and working on making compiles work for everyone.  We'll probably put
the man page viewer up as a downloadable package for 2.1, but we're
still over our size limits for current CVS STABLE to make a release
yet.
