I would like to request the install script provide the option of installing
catman style man pagesrather than the nroff sources as are now installed.
They take up less space, display faster, and use a lot less memory and CPU.
As long as the raw files are still available on the cdrom, I would be more
than happy to just have the processed man pages. Note: I know I can create
and populate the cat1, etc directories. It just makes sense that they should
be the default, or at least an option.
Thanks!
