Hello just installed Mageia 3 dualarch cd. Been away from Linux sometime now thought I look at it again. I cant seem to find the man or info pages is that still in a certain package? Also do I need to add some repositories, conf seems to point to a MIRRORLIST ?

How do you search for the man or info pages? Some come with the man-pages package, most come diretly with the packages of the applications themselves.

For software management please have a look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_management or maybe https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Install_and_ ... r_beginner
Best remove all configured repos and add a complete set, not using mirrorlist.

The Dual CD does not contain the packages "man-pages". and "info".
They can be installed after setting up your repositories.

Yes, thank you. They were not installed. Changed my sources and was able to find them. I should be able to get around better now.
