Hi, everybody!
I have may be simple question. I just installed FreeBSD 1.0. Everything
seems to work OK as far as you can determine in 1/2 hour. But...
When I did "man ls" the system as usually told it's "reformating ....."
and was doing the reformating for 3-4 minutes. After I did "man ls" again
the man pages appeared immediately. It seems that every new topic I am trying
to man takes considerable amount of time to "reformat" .
My characteristics are 486DX2-66, and I gave 270Mb to BSD.
PS.
Before I installed NetBSD and I didn't have any problems with man.
Any help will be appreciated.
Boris Pitel.
