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

It doesn't come bundled with the default man pages, to install it:
yum install man-pages
My Debian system has this installed at /usr/share/man/man7/ascii.7.gz
(in section 7 of the manual), and was installed with the package manpages
. On Debian systems, tools like apt-file
and apt-cache
can search uninstalled packages for particular files.
According to the Fedora Package Database (linked in tj111's answer), there is a man-pages
package. Install that if you don't have it already. You might check for additional core documentation packages.
edit: John T confirms: man-pages
is the package you want.
The package ascii
doesn't appear anywhere in the Fedora 11 Package Database, however asciidoc
does. If that's what you're looking for, make sure you have asciidoc
installed.
