Other times my query would result in stuff that I had to re-install or re-configure. I most often don't look for man pages because I find that they are written largely as reminders for those that do know what they are doing. There is only very rarely an example and never yet have I seen included what to do when an error is thrown. So man pages are great for experts but for those of us who predominantly 'use' the stuff - - - well they are like trying to read Sanskrit using a Russian dictionary!
