I have installed man and man-pages but no manual entry even for ls

I am making a custom TCL for an introductory course on Linux and scripting.

How do I make man command work in Tiny Core Linux?

bmarkus:
Install man.tcz and less.tcz

Than delete /usr/bin/less and create a symlink

ln - /usr/local/bin/less /usr/bin/less

Now man works in text mode. In terminal may not work properly with ESC sequences. If it happens install lxterm.

Of course you need files installed.

Sundeep:
I installed both man and man-pages

less is also installed and according to PATH settings, /usr/local/bin/less takes precedence over /usr/bin/less

Still the man command returns no manual entry for any command (except man man)

bmarkus:
Just for testing install mc-doc.tcz and try man mc

If it doesn't work, what is written by the program in the terminal?

Regarding man-pages, there are no man page for ls command. Please check it's content.

Sundeep:
Okay, I just checked /usr/local/share/man
There are lots of man pages there but not just the ones I was trying like ls, perl, find, grep etc
Any way to add those man pages?
