-<para>Two adjustments need to be made to the sources of Man.</para>
-
-<para>The first is a <command>sed</command> substitution to add the
-<parameter>-R</parameter> switch to the <envar>PAGER</envar>
-variable so that escape sequences are properly handled by Less:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>sed -i 's@-is@&amp;R@g' configure</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>The second is also a <command>sed</command> substitution to comment out the
-<quote>MANPATH /usr/man</quote> line in the
-<filename>man.conf</filename> file to prevent redundant results when
-using programs such as <command>whatis</command>:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>sed -i 's@MANPATH./usr/man@#&amp;@g' src/man.conf.in</userinput></screen>

-<listitem><para>This tells the <command>man</command> program to look for the
-<filename>man.conf</filename> configuration file in the <filename
-class="directory">/etc</filename> directory.</para></listitem>
-</varlistentry>

-
-<para>Compile the package:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>
-
-<para>Install the package:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
-
-<note><para>If you will be working on a terminal that does not support text
-attributes such as color and bold, you can disable Select Graphic Rendition
-(SGR) escape sequences by editing the <filename>man.conf</filename> file and
-adding the <parameter>-c</parameter> option to the <envar>NROFF</envar>
-variable. If you use multiple terminal types for one computer it may be better
-to selectively add the <envar>GROFF_NO_SGR</envar> environment variable for the
-terminals that do not support SGR.</para></note>
-
-<para>If the character set of the locale uses 8-bit characters, search for the
-line beginning with <quote>NROFF</quote> in <filename>/etc/man.conf</filename>,
-and verify that it matches the following:</para>
-
-<screen>NROFF /usr/bin/nroff -Tlatin1 -mandoc</screen>
-
-<para>Note that <quote>latin1</quote> should be used even if it is not
-the character set of the locale. The reason is that, according to the
-specification, <command>groff</command> has no means of typesetting
-characters outside International Organization for Standards
-(ISO) 8859-1 without some strange escape codes. When formatting man
-pages, <command>groff</command> thinks that they are in the ISO 8859-1
-encoding and this <parameter>-Tlatin1</parameter> switch tells
-<command>groff</command> to use the same encoding for output. Since
-<command>groff</command> does no recoding of input characters, the
-formatted result is really in the same encoding as input, and therefore
-it is usable as the input for a pager.</para>
-
-<para>This does not solve the problem of a non-working
-<command>man2dvi</command> program for localized man pages in
-non-ISO 8859-1 locales. Also, it does not work with multibyte
-character sets. The first problem does not currently have a solution.
-The second issue is not of concern because the LFS installation does
-not support multibyte character sets.</para>
-
-<para>Additional information with regards to the compression of
-man and info pages can be found in the BLFS book at
-<ulink url="&blfs-root;view/cvs/postlfs/compressdoc.html"/>.</para>
