   9 Installing and uninstalling
  10 ===========================
  11 "make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
  12
  13 To install to a path different from /usr, use
  14 "make install prefix=/install/path".
  15
  16 "make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
  17 distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
  18 use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

  20 "make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
  21 install".
