I just installed Linux yesterday and everything is working fine except for man (so 
far).

When I type, for example, "man mount" I get a blank page.  This doesn't happen for 
all topics.  Some like "man egrep" work.

I went and had a look in /usr/man and I found that there are cat directories and man 
directories.  Now according to "man man" If there is an up to date pre-formatted 
copy of the man page in one of the cat directories man will use it, otherwise it 
will format a page from one of the man directories.

My first question is can I delete all of the cat directries (or maybe all of the 
files in these directories) to save space?

Another thing, when I looked into the man directories all of the files were zipped. 
For example - mount.2.gz.

My second question is should the man files be zipped, and if not can i just unzip 
them?

When I was playing around (Linux is great for playing around) last night trying to 
fix the "man mount" blank page problem, I unzipped the mount.2.gz file and had a 
look at it.  It looked to me like a normal man file.  Whats going on?

Thanks for any reply.

Kev.
