man page organization

[Marty]

I don't touch the /usr/man directories on my sun386i.

My sun386i didn't come with much space left on the /usr partition anyway.

I put locally installed stuff on /usr/local  (where /usr/local is a
symbolic link to /files/local)

SunOS man supports the enviroment variable MANPATH which allows you to have
multiple man directories.

I just put local stuff in  /usr/local/man/man[1-8].

I consider MANPATH to be a wonderful thing -- some versions of Unix don't
seem to have it (some editions of Sys V don't even have man!!).  I large
releases with large numbers of manpages, don't even more the man pages,
just add where the man pages are to your MANPATH.
