   5 Install by copying to your favourite location.
   6 "make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
   7 "make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
   8 the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
   9 then remove old versions (compressed or not),
  10 compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

  16 also distributed in other packages. This has been reported

  18 about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils),
  19 and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to
  20 overwrite more up-to-date versions.
  21 Reports on further duplicates are welcome.

  23  exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*),
  24  fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*),
  25  lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*).
