At any rate, no need to apologize. I actually don't mind that you brought it up in this case because it made me remember that there's people out there who actually care about manpages.

Does symlinking the /usr/man/man1/ make the manpages work, by the way? And if so, how does everyone feel about symlinking them to the right directory to work by default?

(I think some people might actually MANUALLY symlink their /usr/man/... directories as a whole into /opt/ or /home/, which would mean I'd have to make sure the symlink add/remove scripts are ready for both possibilities. Though thinking about it now, it shouldn't be too much of an issue with the scripts I have now for symlinking the binaries....)
