[Voyage-linux] reduced man browser

[Robert Vollmert]

Hello,

first off, thanks to those behind voyage linux. My ALIX.2D13 was a  
breeze to set up.

I'd like to have a /usr/bin/man installed, however Debian's man-db  
package does a lot more than I find desirable (the update of its  
database on each man page install for instance). What worked for now  
is installing man-db, then removing /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File and  
the man-db cron jobs as well as /var/cache/man. However, I'm wondering  
if any of you are aware of a simpler alternative that doesn't require  
mutilating packages.

I guess wrapping
   zcat | groff -man -Tascii | less
in a shell script would be an option.

Cheers
Robert
