man man
man - format and display the on-line manual pages
I might be blind or dumb. But I have not been able to figure out how to get the on-line manual pages. I have plugged away for a while and have come to a couple conclusions.
The first is a really small shell script. named "oman" get it o-man no no I think you are not getting it. It is short for online manual.

So I (brain stormed) a little more. And realized how much time to people spend actually needing to craw through hundreds of man pages. Almost none.
What if there was a NFS mounted to whatever and we just add that to the $MANPATH It only needs to be read-only. And could be easily added to live distro. With access to many many more man pages than your system might hold.
