中文man

下载用
1、 sudo dpkg -i man*.deb
安装。

方法1：
更改： /etc/manpath.config
sudo gedit /etc/manpath.config

把里面的所有的 /usr/share/man 改成 /usr/share/man/zh_CN
/usr/share/man 替换成 /usr/share/man/zh_CN

再试试:
man mount
man grub
全部变成中文的了！！！

例文：
# manpath.config
#
# This file is used by the man-db package to configure the man and cat paths.
# It is also used to provide a manpath for those without one by examining
# their PATH environment variable. For details see the manpath(5) man page.
#
# Lines beginning with `#' are comments and are ignored. Any combination of
# tabs or spaces may be used as `whitespace' separators.
#
# There are three mappings allowed in this file:
# --------------------------------------------------------
# MANDATORY_MANPATH manpath_element
# MANPATH_MAP path_element manpath_element
# MANDB_MAP global_manpath [relative_catpath]
#---------------------------------------------------------
# every automatically generated MANPATH includes these fields
#
#MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/src/pvm3/man
#
MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/share/man/zh_CN
MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/share/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/local/man
#---------------------------------------------------------
# set up PATH to MANPATH mapping
# ie. what man tree holds man pages for what binary directory.
#
# *PATH* -> *MANPATH*
#

#---------------------------------------------------------
# For a manpath element to be treated as a system manpath (as most of those
# above should normally be), it must be mentioned below. Each line may have
# an optional extra string indicating the catpath associated with the
# manpath. If no catpath string is used, the catpath will default to the
# given manpath.
#
# You *must* provide all system manpaths, including manpaths for alternate
# operating systems, locale specific manpaths, and combinations of both, if
# they exist, otherwise the permissions of the user running man/mandb will
# be used to manipulate the manual pages. Also, mandb will not initialise
# the database cache for any manpaths not mentioned below unless explicitly
# requested to do so.
#
# In a per-user configuration file, this directive only controls the
# location of catpaths and the creation of database caches; it has no effect
# on privileges.
#
# Any manpaths that are subdirectories of other manpaths must be mentioned
# *before* the containing manpath. E.g. /usr/man/preformat must be listed
# before /usr/man.
#
# *MANPATH* -> *CATPATH*

# the default is 1, n, l, 8, 3, 2, 5, 4, 9, 6, 7. Multiple SECTION
# directives may be given for clarity, and will be concatenated together in
# the expected way.
# If a particular extension is not in this list (say, 1mh), it will be
# displayed with the rest of the section it belongs to. The effect of this
# is that you only need to explicitly list extensions if you want to force a
# particular order. Sections with extensions should usually be adjacent to
# their main section (e.g. "1 1mh 8 ...").

我在 ubuntu 6.10 即 edgy 设置成功！
方法2：
.bashrc 文件中加入如下命令别名
可以用 gedit .bashrc
查找 alias
然后插入：
alias cman='man -M /usr/share/man/zh_CN'
cman ls
修改.bashrc 需要重启才能生效（至少要重登录）。当然此时可以先在命令行上输入，来测试一下，然后再改写.bashrc
文件！
因为还是看英文的多。并不用设置路径！

用这一种方法，想用中文man时： cman command
想用英文man： man command。

而且这样中文和英文都可以用
