G'day Ian,

You didn't mention which OLPC OS version you were using.
It works for me on 11.3.1, here is what I did:

1.  delete the %_excludedocs line in /etc/rpm/macros.imgcreate

2.  yum install man

3.  yum reinstall coreutils bash

4.  man ls

The manual page is correctly displayed.

Many files are present in /usr/share/man/man1

There's no man-pages package found by yum.

Also, to find which package should be reinstalled for a particular
program:

	rpm -qf /bin/ls

It told me coreutils was the responsible package.
