[ug-bosug] man page browser

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

hello

I followed the link to tkman.sourceforge.net and it pointed to two file
download links, I downloaded the files, and in the process of extracting the
files, something must have happened, my browser completely failed the next
time I logged in. I am not sure if it is because of the tkman download. I
tried to launch my browser from Java Desktop, from CDE, the browser did not
launch. There was an indication of any error message either... All this when
logged in as root.

Within the 1.7 browser there is an email client, I have downloaded a lot
messages and wonder what happened to the email file folder.

Should I reinstall Solaris 10 ? Is there are way of repairing the browser
without going through the reinstallation routine ? If I should reinstall the
entire O/S is there a way of reninstalling without damaging the existing
files and the partition / slicing structure ?

Thank you.
Sivasubramanian.
