Are we free to use Systems Manual Pages at the exam

coni

Hi guys,

Before I take the exam I'd like to ask about the manual pages.

I know I can check man pages but there are also manual pages on the system like httpd-manual in /usr/share/httpd/manual directory. Those are HTML files so if I use those files like elinks /usr/share/httpd/manual/index.html. Would it be a problem? Are we free to look those HTML files?

There are many html files under /usr/share/doc. I guess we are meant to look at them.

Thank you.

My understanding is that as long as you have a browser installed and know how to look at a local html file you are fine. So you can use elinks, lynx, w3m, etc. I don't have specific knowledge which of these might be installed but you can also install them with yum or apt-get commands I assume. I also don't know if all of these doc files are there but I would suspect so. If someone from the certification group can say more, please do so (You could also install the .doc package if you know the name as well)

All this package are provided from default repos. If they ask me to install http server I can install the manual together so I guess it should be fine. But if someone from the certification group answer would be better.

@coni The certification group does not monitor this forum, since it is meant to support the elearning courses. Please send an email to [email protected] and they should be able to assist you (All certification-related inquiries should be sent via email).

Thank you @fcioanca

I have emailed them and it is totally fine to use those html files as long as they are installed on the system.
