I often look at man pages under linux. But "man my_command" is not easy to read. 8O
Is there any nice graphic interface for man_pages ?
 

Hi

You can use xman, a GUI interface to Unix/Linux man commands.

tnx
 

Hi

You use KDE? If yes, try in xterm (console) > konqueror man:foo, or in location toolbar > man:foo.
 

xman need many parameters, among them MANPATH
If I use manpath to set it, it still does not work. :(
Is there a way to get a man-page this way :
xman -options mycommand
 

If you are using Common Desktop Environment(CDE), another graphical man-page view is available -- dthelpview
dthelpview -man
or
dthelpview -manPage <man page>
 

If you use gnome
You can try the yelp command
 

why not use yelp??
