<p>Upgrading from Fedora 9 with a full reinstall off the non-developers CD image, then installing various packages. <code>man ascii</code> doesn't work -- what do I need to install to get this to work?</p>

<p>The package <code>ascii</code> doesn't appear anywhere in the <a href="https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/collections/id/21?packages%5Ftgp%5Fno=2&amp;packages%5Ftgp%5Fordering=name&amp;%5Fcsrf%5Ftoken=8fbf89542a2bfe182a418d2f12716bf3da92145e&amp;packages%5Ftgp%5Flimit=100" rel="nofollow">Fedora 11 Package Database</a>, however <a href="https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/asciidoc?%5Fcsrf%5Ftoken=8fbf89542a2bfe182a418d2f12716bf3da92145e" rel="nofollow"><code>asciidoc</code></a> does. If that's what you're looking for, make sure you have <code>asciidoc</code> installed.</p>

<p>My Debian system has this installed at <code>/usr/share/man/man7/ascii.7.gz</code> (in section 7 of the manual), and was installed with the package <code>manpages</code>. On Debian systems, tools like <code>apt-file</code> and <code>apt-cache</code> can search uninstalled packages for particular files.</p> <p>According to the <a href="https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/collections/id/21?packages%5Ftgp%5Fno=2&amp;packages%5Ftgp%5Fordering=name&amp;%5Fcsrf%5Ftoken=8fbf89542a2bfe182a418d2f12716bf3da92145e&amp;packages%5Ftgp%5Flimit=100" rel="nofollow">Fedora Package Database</a> (linked in tj111's answer), there is a <code>man-pages</code> package. Install that if you don't have it already. You might check for additional core documentation packages.</p> <p><strong>edit</strong>: John T confirms: <code>man-pages</code> is the package you want.</p>

<p>It doesn't come bundled with the default man pages, to install it:</p> <pre><code>yum install man-pages </code></pre> <p><img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2cqkv1d.png" alt="alt text" /></p> <p><img src="http://i35.tinypic.com/27x17ki.png" alt="alt text" /></p>
