Where can I get man pages to fill in those I'm missing?
Jerry Quinn writes in mklinux-setup:
 
I've uploaded:
 
man-pages-1.13.tar.gz (375759 bytes), 
Linux-HOWTOs.tar.gz (1244155 bytes), 
and Linux-mini-HOWTOs.tar.gz (550185 bytes)
 
to ftp.mklinux.apple.com to help people find them.  The man page distribution
doesn't overlap with the DR2 CD pages at all with the exception of modules.2,
which is older than the page included in the modules rpm.  So watch out for
that.
 
Also, makewhatis apparently refuses to do an update on the man/manX
directories.  If you look at it (shell script), there is a line that reads
something like:
 
if [ -f ./whatis -a $page = "man" ]; then
  ...
 
that prevents this from happening.  If you change this to a false test, such
as [ -n "" ], the update will work fine.  I wouldn't be surprised if there is
a reason for that restriction, but I don't know offhand what it is.  YMMV

---------------------------
Apparently the man pages have never showed up at ftp.mklinux.apple.com.  However, 
here is the url to get them from sunsite:
