[nslu2-linux] Re: "groff" install broken, need some hint

Don't know why libstdc++ got "Status: install ok not-installed".

For the corrupt man screen problem, can you make sure optware less is installed, and export PAGER=/opt/bin/less ? Note optware mc is compiled with slang, while less depends on ncursesw.
